elseIf statement confusion

[Aaron Shegrud]

I have a class

 

class whs::auth {
if ($macosx_productversion_major == '10.9'){
        file { 'authorization109':
                path    => '/System/Library/Security/authorization.plist',
                ensure  => file,
                owner   => 'root',
                group   => 'wheel',
                mode    => '0644',
                source  => 'puppet:///modules/whs/authorization-10.9.plist',
        }
        exec { 'auth.db' :
                command     => '/bin/mv /var/db/auth.db /var/db/auth.db.orig',
                subscribe   => File["authorization109"],
                refreshonly => true,
        }
}
elseif ($macosx_productversion_major == '10.8') {
        file { 'authorization108':
                path    => '/etc/authorization',
                ensure  => file,
                owner   => 'root',
                group   => 'wheel',
                mode    => '0644',
                source  => 'puppet:///modules/whs/authorization-10.8',
        }
}
}

This class works fine if I comment out the elseif statement. 

I highlighted the line that corresponds with the errors.

with the elseif statement I get this from my agent:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '{'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/modules/whs/manifests/auth.pp:21 on node aaronshegrud.___.___
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

if I remove the Parens I get an error saying:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '=='; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/modules/whs/manifests/auth.pp:21 on node aaronshegrud.___.___
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I don't know what I am doing wrong...

In particular, note the spelling of elsif. :)

I'm serious I think I read that a million times and my dyslexia kicked in until you pointed it out.

thanks.
