Jira (PUP-11347) `puppet parser validate` ignores plans

[Josh Cooper (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-11347   Re: `puppet parser validate` ignores plans There are a lot of points/concerns in the description so I'll try to break it down here: I think it's really confusing that tasks aren't validated by default. I tested that on puppet 6.25.0 and 7.12.1. Is there a reason for this? See Henrik Lindberg comment in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-8059?focusedCommentId=496581&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-496581. Also why enables the `--tasks` option validation for plans? shouldn't that be --plans? This is because puppet tasks were implemented first and plans came later. If it would help reduce confusion, we could create a Puppet[:plans] setting that is an alias for Puppet[:tasks]. In other words, you could pass either --tasks or --plans, but we'd prefer and document --plans (similar to what we do for serverport & masterport). from `puppet parser validate` I would expect to validate all code, manifests and plans... `puppet parser validate` should validate manifests and plans This part is filed as PUP-9578, so please follow that ticket for updates. the validate/syntax rake task from puppetlabs_spec_helper should validate plans as well. Please file a PDK ticket for that. It seems like puppetlabs_spec_helper could detect if the plans directory exists and if so, enable tasks/plans and validate just manifests in that directory. /cc Ben Ford Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.13.2#813002-sha1:c495a97) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
