FAQ
Dear readers,

How do I syntax debug the config files on the puppet master before I deploy
them?

My current problem is that server_list is to be an array, and I don't know
if I should write

class { 'ntp': server_list => $ntpServerList }
or
class { 'ntp': server_list = $ntpServerList }

How do I debug such a situation on puppet 3?

Hugs,
Sandra



node "client1.example.com" {
include common
class { 'ntp': server_list => $ntpServerList }
}

class common {
include common::data
}

class common::data {
$ntpServerList = [
'ntp1.example.com','ntp2.example.com','ntp3.example.com' ]
}

    Did you ever try Gepetto (https://github.com/cloudsmith/geppetto)? At least in the coming version (3.0) will support Puppet 3. I really do recommend Gepetto since I've been working with it for more than a year now and it helped me a lot creating error free code. You should give it a try. There are also current beta releases available which (as far as I know) already do support Puppet 3. It's available as an Eclipse plugin and as a standalone program.

    Cheers,
    Bernd

    Hi Bernd

    Did you ever try Gepetto (https://github.com/cloudsmith/geppetto)? At
    least in the coming version (3.0) will support Puppet 3. I really do
    recommend Gepetto since I’ve been working with it for more than a year
    now and it helped me a lot creating error free code. You should give it a
    try. There are also current beta releases available which (as far as I
    know) already do support Puppet 3. It’s available as an Eclipse plugin and
    as a standalone program.
    Ok, so Gepetto is a plugin for Eclipse?

    I don't suppose it works with either VI or emacs?

    Hugs,
    Sandra

    Hi Sandra,

    Yes, you may either use it as an Eclipse plugin or as a standalone program. There's no link to vi or Emacs at all. I think I know what you mean. My absolutely favorite editor is vim. Normally I don't need anything else but the command line and vim. However, when it's about creating source code (Puppet, Java, whatever) I want to have the ability to see my errors while I'm typing and that's why I then move to some GUI stuff like Eclipse. It saves me a lot of time. (Not to mention some other advantages like code formatting.)

    I know there are also command line tools for validating Puppet code. Maybe someone else from this list can provide more information.

    Cheers
    Bernd

    Hi

    I my 5 cents:

    I first use vim-puppet (syntax highlighting for puppet manifests in
    vim while creating my manifest) To create my manifests

    Then I use
    - puppet parser validate file.pp (Validate the syntax of one or more
    Puppet manifests).

    - puppet-lint file.pp (Check that your Puppet manifest conform to the
    style guide) this one must installed using gems package manager: gem
    install puppet-lint

    Usually inside a loop to check many files at a time

    Check all .pp files in a directory
    find -name '*.pp' | xargs -n 1 -t puppet parser validate
    find -name '*.pp' | xargs -n 1 -t puppet-lint

    Best regards

    Dear Juan

    - puppet parser validate file.pp (Validate the syntax of one or more
    Puppet manifests).

    - puppet-lint file.pp (Check that your Puppet manifest conform to the
    style guide) this one must installed using gems package manager: gem
    install puppet-lint
    That's exactly what I was looking for =)

    Check all .pp files in a directory
    find -name '*.pp' | xargs -n 1 -t puppet parser validate
    find -name '*.pp' | xargs -n 1 -t puppet-lint
    Didn't knew about the "-n 1" trick instead of making a loop =)

    Hugs,
    Sandra

    Btw. How do you install that?

    I have tried

    mkdir .vim
    cd .vim
    git clone https://github.com/rodjek/vim-puppet.git
    cd
    echo "set runtimepath+=$HOME/.vim/vim-puppet" > .vimrc

    The author of vim-puppet says in the README that they use something called "pathogen" to manage their vim modules.

    I found this: https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen

    Otherwise, it looks like one would have to pick apart the innards on vim-puppet to understand it enough to install it by other means.

    Good like. I hope this helps.

    If vim is your primary editing environment install vim-pathogen, takes
    two minutes, and be done. Allows vim to load dirs out of ~/.vim/bundle/
    and I usually git clone new vim plugins directly into it. Well worth the
    time to not dig through .vim/syntax|ftplugin|etc|etc directories.

    I plan to try it out. It looks like a good utility.

    Hi

    I installed it from puppetlabs repositories (in debian):

    Package: vim-puppet
    Source: puppet
    Version: 2.7.19-1puppetlabs1
    Architecture: all
    Maintainer: Puppet Labs <info@puppetlabs.com>

    Section: admin
    Priority: optional
    Homepage: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet
    Description: syntax highlighting for puppet manifests in vim
    The vim-puppet package provides filetype detection and syntax highlighting for
    puppet manifests (files ending with ".pp").
    Filename: pool/squeeze/main/p/puppet/vim-puppet_2.7.19-1puppetlabs1_all.deb

    So I suppose it must be packaged for other dists: CentOS, RedHat, etc

    Yes, you may either use it as an Eclipse plugin or as a standalone

    That sounds interesting.

    How do I do that? =)

    The standalone Geppetto is downloadable from
    https://github.com/cloudsmith/geppetto/downloads (linux, windows, osx).

    To install it into an Eclipse as a plugin, see instructions in the FAQ -
    http://cloudsmith.github.com/geppetto/faq.html#2011/06/02/can-i-use-geppetto-in-eclipse

    The current release of Geppetto 2.2.1 supports Puppet 3.0.
