            In PUP-6028 error handling for attempts to form relationships with undef resources was improved. This in turn led to a problem with code using {{create_resources}} and the stdlib functions {{ensure_resource}}, {{ensure_resources}}, and {{ensure_packages}} as this combination could feed an undef resource reference into the catalog, and such are now always treated as an error.

            The problem manifests itself as the error message:
            {code}
            No title provided and "" is not a valid resource reference
            {code}

            Description

            Since PUP-6028, catalog compilation now fails when a resource has the require or before metaparameters set to undef.

            This behaviour was relied upon in the puppetlabs-postgresql module at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-postgresql/blob/4.7.1/manifests/server/extension.pp#L57-L58 where the value of the metaparams is worked out in the manifest and can be undef.

            A simple reproducer, at commit eff7ac6 or master:
