PUPPET-PARSER(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-PARSER(8) NAME puppet-parser - Interact directly with the parser. SYNOPSIS puppet parser action OPTIONS Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to the present action. For example, server and run_mode are valid settings, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an argument. See the configuration file documentation at https://pup- pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of ac- ceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig. --render-as FORMAT The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot are sometimes available. --verbose Whether to log verbosely. --debug Whether to log debug information. ACTIONS • dump - Outputs a dump of the internal parse tree for debugging: SYNOPSIS puppet parser dump [--e source] [--[no-]validate] [--format old, pn, or json] [--pretty] [--format old|pn|json] [--pretty] { -e source | [templates ...] } DESCRIPTION This action parses and validates the Puppet DSL syntax without com- piling a catalog or syncing any resources. The output format can be controlled using the --format old|pn|json where: • 'old' is the default, but now deprecated format which is not API. • 'pn' is the Puppet Extended S-Expression Notation. • 'json' outputs the same graph as 'pn' but with JSON syntax. The output will be "pretty printed" when the option --pretty is given together with --format 'pn' or 'json'. This option has no effect on the 'old' format. The command accepts one or more manifests (.pp) files, or an -e fol- lowed by the puppet source text. If no arguments are given, the stdin is read (unless it is attached to a terminal) The output format of the dumped tree is intended for debugging purposes and is not API, it may change from time to time. OPTIONS --e <source> - dump one source expression given on the command line. --format <old, pn, or json> - Get result in 'old' (deprecated format), 'pn' (new format), or 'json' (new format in JSON). --pretty - Pretty print output. Only applicable together with --format pn or json --[no-]validate - Whether or not to validate the parsed result, if no-validate only syntax errors are reported RETURNS A dump of the resulting AST model unless there are syntax or validation errors. • validate - Validate the syntax of one or more Puppet manifests.: SYNOPSIS puppet parser validate [manifest] [manifest ...] DESCRIPTION This action validates Puppet DSL syntax without compiling a catalog or syncing any resources. If no manifest files are provided, it will validate the default site manifest. When validating multiple issues per file are reported up to the settings of max_error, and max_warnings. The processing stops after having reported issues for the first encountered file with errors. RETURNS Nothing, or the first syntax error encountered. EXAMPLES validate Validate the default site manifest at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/mani- fests/site.pp: $ puppet parser validate Validate two arbitrary manifest files: $ puppet parser validate init.pp vhost.pp Validate from STDIN: $ cat init.pp | puppet parser validate COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2014 by Puppet Inc.
