A simple script for validating Puppet code. Three types of validation are run against the Puppet code:

1. Puppet Parser
2. Puppet Lint
3. Ruby Syntax checking

Please note. The script only only checks syntax of Puppet code, it will not pickup spelling mistakes in variable names etc.

I use it locally to make sure I haven't made any silly mistakes in my syntax before pushing puppet code to a repository where automated tests should be run to more thoroughly check your code for errors before the code is deployed to a Puppet Master or directly to servers.

Place script in the location where your Puppet repositories / folders are stored.

There are two options for validating Puppet code:

1. Validate a specific directory:

   $ ./puppet-validator.sh
   $ Enter directory name where Puppet code is located. Leave blank to check all directories: directory_name
   $ Validating directory_name directory
   

2. Validate all directories:

   $ ./puppet-validator.sh
   $ Enter directory name where Puppet code is located. Leave blank to check all directories:
   $ Validating all directories
