We were faced with this recently. We wound up rolling back and then refactoring all our code, using puppet-lint as a guide and to help find all the potential issues. The dashes have been semi-supoported for a short while, and depreciated for most of 2.7.x I had originally thought that 3.X would be the change where it went from warning to error, but it looks like they pushed this out with 2.7.17 for whatever reason. Initially, I thought that I had pushed a bad config, so I reverted to > a previous known-good commit from my puppet git repo, but saw the same > error. I then down-graded back to 2.7.14-2 and the problem went away. > I looked through the puppet change logs, and didn't see anything that > looked like it should have caused this. > > Here are the contents of the file referred to in the error message: > > https://gist.github.com/3006908 > > Do you have any ideas what could be causing this? > > Thank you, > Erik > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
