So some of you may be aware that Tim Sharpe from GitHub wrote a Puppet linting tool:
$ gem install puppet-lint $ puppet-lint mymanifest.pp Source: https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-lint The linting tool checks Puppet code for "best practice" based on the Puppet Labs Style Guide: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html A lot of us have been using puppet-lint (and puppet parser validate) to ensure our code is synoptically correct and as "best practice" as possible. We're also aware that there are some strange and odd things in the Puppet language and whilst we can't fix all them right now we'd like to find a way to highlight items and syntax that is sub-optimal for you via linting. So what can you do to help? Well firstly help us identify any syntax, language constructions, structures etc that have caused issues for you or that when used result in errors or issues. You can let us know about these in three ways: * Submit patches and additions to the linting tool. Patches in the form of failing tests are especially welcome if you aren't comfortable adding new tests yourself. * Email me or the list with tickets containing issues like this. * Send me or the list snippets of Puppet code that cause issues and the output/issue they result in. We'll also look at tracking as many of these as possible and where relevant update the Style Guide with them too.
