Installation

gem install puppet-lint-strict_indent-check

Usage

This plugin provides an indentation check for puppet-lint strict_indent. The check has a strict expectation for all indentation, except comments and whitespace/blank lines.

supports --fix flag

Check will raise a warning for any files that don't have 2-space indent, and follow specific guidelines for increase/decrease of indent.

Alternate Indentation

Indentation defaults to 2 spaces. To use a different number of spaces, use the -l option to load ruby file changing the chars_per_indent config.

config file chars_per_indent_4.rb:

# This could also be set in your Rakefile
PuppetLint.configuration.chars_per_indent = 4

lint command:

puppet-lint -l chars_per_indent_4.rb puppet-mysql/manifests/init.pp

Acceptable Identation

• indent should increase by one step the line after each opened brace (square, curly, paren)
• indent should decrease by one step the line of every closed brace.
• indent should increase by one step the line after a resource title, unless it already increased due to a bracket.
• indent should decrease by one step the line after the end of a resource due to semicolon, if it was indented for resource title.
• indent should decrease by one step the line of the end of a resource due to right curly brace, if it was indented for resource title, and not ended by a semicolon.
• indent should increase by one step the line after an equals = or farrow => that ends a line, but only for that one line.
