When defining anec2_vpc resource and not specifying the region parameter the module throws strange error messages like "Could not set 'present' on ensure: type mismatch: String given".
The problem can be reproduced with a manifest like the following:
I had AWS_REGIONdefined in my environment and would have assumed that the module uses that instead of specifying it in each resource, but apparently it isn't as the debug output tells:
Info: Creating VPC foo in absent
Setting a region in the resource is a viable workaround, but if the region argument is required the error handling should be adjusted to actually say so.
This happened with version 2.0.0 of the module and puppet 4.10.8.
