In nodes.pp I have:

:

node 'somenode' {

  class { 'someclass':    <= this is line 12

     $somevariable = "somevalue",

  }

}

:

My intent with this is for the somenode node to have someclass

define its internal variable somevariable with somevalue.

However, on the agent run, this produces the error in messages:

  Date/Time Host puppet-agent[pid]: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at 'somevariable'; expected

    '}' at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:12 on node somenode

My question is, where's the syntax error it is complaining about?

Missing a > on the line with $somevariable ...? For example it should be:

node 'somenode' {
class { 'someclass':
$somevariable => "somevalue",

I did the => as you were posting but still got the same error...

Stuart,
It should be
somevariable => "somevalue",
and not
$somevariable => "somevalue",

Remove the '$' from '$somevariable'.

Oops. Yeah what everyone else (Haus & Rodent) said, so remove $ and add >:

Was:

node 'somenode' {
class { 'someclass':
$somevariable = "somevalue",
}
}

Should be:

node 'somenode' {
class { 'someclass':
