Puppet / PUP-11218 require metaparam cannot be assinged to defined resource if inside var is named $require Issue Type: Task Affects Versions: PUP 6.23.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Compiler Created: 2021/08/23 7:23 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Tim Meusel Hi, if I'm using a variable named `$require` within a defined resource,I cannot add the $require metaparameter to it. Failing code: package { 'htop': ensure => 'insalled' } define bla { $require = 'a string' notify { $require:} }   bla {'foobar': require => Package['htop'], } this fails during a puppet apply with: Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Cannot reassign variable '$require' I can reproduce this on Puppet 6.23.0 on Arch Linux. I checked https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6/lang_reserved.html and require isn't listed as reserved keyword. Add Comment

Re: require metaparam cannot be assinged to defined resource if inside var is named $require I reproduces this also with class: exec { 'hello': command => 'echo Hi', } class bla {

$require = 'a string' notify { $require:} }

class {'bla': require => Exec['hello'], }  Error: Evaluation Error: Cannot reassign variable '$require' (file: bla.pp, line: 6, column: 12) on node localhost   On both cases the `require` metaparameter from bla resource/class creates a `require` variable that cannot be overwritten from resource/class definition
