[pmelse]

Puppet 4.x
relevant bits of my host profile:
...
class { 'infoblox':
infoblox_username => 'someyser',
infoblox_password => 'somepassword',
infoblox_host => 'infoblox.somedomain.com',
}

infoblox_dns_a { 'name.somedomain.com':
ensure => present,
address => "1.1.1.1"
}
...

when running puppet agent:
Error: Failed to apply catalog: undefined local variable or method `resource' for Puppet::Type::Infoblox_dns_a::ProviderInfoblox_dns_a:Class
Did you mean? resources

I suspect this is related to puppet-infoblox/lib/puppet/provider/infoblox_dns_a/infoblox_dns_a.rb line 19, unless I'm using the module in an incorrect way?
