Puppet

The following code throws an exception on the wrong line because the

slurpstring

method in parser/lexer.rb does not account for multiline strings:

#!/usr/bin/env puppet

$string = "this is a
test
and
a
failure"

[fun

Results in:

Could not parse for environment development: Syntax error at '['; expected ']' at /Users/luke/bin/test.pp:5

The actual error is on line 9, but all of the carriage returns in the string are ignored by the line counter.

Note that any fix for this problem should correctly handle

\n

characters embedded in strings.
