Bug #3857: cannot make reference to defined resource types with :: in type

I did a search and didn't find a duplicate, but it's hard to believe an issue is not already open for this.

when I create a defined resource type that has :: in the name, I cant make a reference to it.

define blah::blah() {
  file { $name:
    ensure => file,
  }
}

blah::blah { '/tmp/two':}

file { '/tmp/one':
  ensure => file,
  require => Blah::blah['/tmp/two']
}

creating defined resource types with :: is a best practice since its required for auto-loading in modules.

there is way to get around this, you need to capitalize everything that proceeds a colon:

file { '/tmp/one':
ensure => file,

require => Blah::Blah['/tmp/two']
}

Oh! I didn’t know there was a bug for this, but I just fixed it ten minutes ago, because it came up in the IRC channel on Friday. Closing.
