puppet-lint-appends-check

License Test Release RubyGem Version RubyGem Downloads Donated by Puppet Inc A puppet-lint plugin to check that the append (+=) operator is unused.

Installing

From the command line

$ gem install puppet-lint-appends-check

In a Gemfile

gem 'puppet-lint-appends-check', :require => false

Checks

Append operator use

Use of the append operator can lead to unexpected behavior.

What you have done

$ssh_users = ['myself', 'someone']

class test {
  $ssh_users += ['someone_else']
}

What you should have done

$ssh_users = ['myself', 'someone', 'someone_else']

# OR
$ssh_users = hiera('ssh_users')

Auto fixing

There is not one way to properly fix this type of style error, so running puppet-lint's fix feature will not have any effect.

Disabling the check

To disable this check, you can add --no-appends-check to your puppet-lint command line.

$ puppet-lint --no-appends-check path/to/file.pp

Alternatively, if you’re calling puppet-lint via the Rake task, you should insert the following line to your Rakefile.

PuppetLint.configuration.send('disable_appends')
