What will puppet parser output when a file resource type with the same resource title/name is declared twice?

When a file resource type with the same resource title or name is declared twice, Puppet will not raise a syntax error during parsing. Instead, when the catalog is compiled, an error is thrown indicating that there is a duplicate resource declaration. This behavior occurs because Puppet enforces resource uniqueness; it expects each resource to have a distinct title within its scope to avoid ambiguity in resource management.

The Puppet parser can parse the manifest without errors, but as it goes through the compilation phase, it checks for conflicts such as duplicate definitions. If it encounters two resources with the same title, it flags this as an error during compilation, helping to ensure that the manifest behaves predictably and not applying conflicting configurations. This design promotes clarity and maintainability in Puppet manifests by avoiding unintended behavior that could arise from having multiple declarations of the same resource.
