Puppet users - Nov 2011 - problem with templates

I am having an issue with templates that I cant quite figure out why
it is having an issue.

I am using ruby dsl to read a template from a database and it keeps
having problems with anything other than <%= var %> type definitions.

I even went as far cutting and pasting from the puppet online
documentation just to see if it were maybe something I goofed. I
pasted below the tested template and the error that I get with it.

<% scope.to_hash.keys.each do |k| -%>
<%= k %>
<% end -%>

err: compile error
(erb):2: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND
_erbout
       ^

What is interesting to note is if I change the template to
<% scope.to_hash.keys.each do |k| %> <%= k %> <%= "\n"
%><% end %>

The error goes away.

I probably should have said this is related to Ruby DSL inline
template function, I havent been able to reproduce this with erb files
stored locally.

I figured out the problem, which is a different behavior from Puppet
DSL. Puppet DSL converts the entries entered into inline_template into
an array based on comma but the Ruby DSL does not do this.

if I make the inline_template argument like below

:content => inline_template([mytemplate])

it works correctly.
