PUPPET-PARSER(8) OpenVox 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://puppet.com/docs/pup- pet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by run- ning 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: SYNOP- SIS puppet parser dump [--e source] [--[no-]validate] [--format old, pn, or json] [--pretty] [--format old|pn|json] [--pretty] { -e source | [tem- plates ...] } DESCRIPTION This action parses and validates the Puppet DSL syntax without compil- ing 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 to- gether 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 followed by the puppet source text. If no arguments are given, the stdin is read (un- less 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-vali- date only syntax errors are reported RETURNS A dump of the resulting AST model unless there are syntax or validation er- rors. * validate - Validate the syntax of one or more Puppet manifests.: SYNOP- SIS 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 vali- date the default site manifest. When validating multiple issues per file are reported up to the set- tings 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., Vox Pupuli Apache 2 license; see COPYING Vox Pupuli January 2025 PUPPET-PARSER(8)
