puppet-lint manifest whitespace check

Adds a new puppet-lint check to verify a number of whitespace issues (newlines etc.)

These checks are very opinionated.

--fix support: Yes

Installation

To use this plugin, add the following line to the Gemfile in your Puppet code base and run bundle install.

gem 'puppet-lint-manifest_whitespace-check'

Usage

This plugin provides a number of new checks to puppet-lint.

manifest_whitespace_opening_bracket_after

There should be a single space or single newline after an opening curly brace

Exceptions: other brackets or comma's

manifest_whitespace_opening_bracket_before

There should be a single space before an opening bracket

Exceptions: other brackets

Good examples:

class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  $value = [{ 'key' => 'value' }]

  if somecondition {
    class { 'someclass': }
  }
}

Bad examples:

class myclass (
  # the parameters
)
{
  # the body
}

class myclass (
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass
{
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  if somecondition{
    class{ 'someclass': }
  }
}

manifest_whitespace_missing_newline_end_of_file

There should be a single newline at the end of a manifest.

Not zero, not two or more. Be advised: this single newline is implicit at the end of your last line of code. This check does not add a single empty line!

manifest_whitespace_double_newline_end_of_file

There should be a single newline at the end of a manifest.

Not zero, not two or more. Be advised: this single newline is implicit at the end of your last line of code. This check does not add a single empty line!

manifest_whitespace_arrows_single_space_after

There should be a single space after an arrow.

When you list resource parameters or build a hash, you usually use arrow operators (=>). There are checks that make sure your arrows are aligned, but this check will ensure the number of spaces after your arrows is consistently 1.

manifest_whitespace_newline_beginning_of_file

There should not be a newline at the beginning of a manifest.

There should not be empty lines at the beginning of your file.

manifest_whitespace_class_name_single_space_before

There should be a single space between the class or defined resource statement and the name.

Good examples:

class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}

Bad example:

class  myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

manifest_whitespace_class_name_single_space_after

There should be a single space between the class or resource name and the first brace.

Good examples:

class myclass (
  # the parameters
) {
  # the body
}

class myclass {
  # the body
}

Bad example:

class myclass(
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass  (
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}

class myclass
(
  # the parameters
){
  # the body
}
