bad URI when parsing yumrepo baseurl

[Andy Hall]

please can someone tell me what is wrong with this as it is a valid URI and should work...

 

 if ($::operatingsystemmajrelease == '5') or ($::operatingsystemmajrelease == '6') {
    yumrepo { 'vmware-tools':
      baseurl => "baseurl=http://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/10.1.0/rhel${::operatingsystemmajrelease}/x86_64",
      descr  => 'vmware',
      enabled => 1,
      gpgcheck => 1,
      gpgkey  => 'https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub',
    }
  }

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter baseurl failed on Yumrepo[vmware-tools]: Validate method failed for class baseurl: bad URI(is not URI?): baseurl=http://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/10.1.0/rhel6/x86_64

as you can see this is a real URI: http://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/10.1.0/rhel5/x86_64

the parser seems to be as follows: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/lib/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb

thanks !!
