puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations

ci Gem Version Code Owners

A puppet-lint plugin to detect puppetlabs/stdlib deprecations including removed and non-namespaced functions and datatypes.

Installation

Add this line to your modules's Gemfile:

gem 'puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it with:

gem install puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations

Checks

This plugin includes two checks.

stdlib_deprecated_functions

Scans your puppet code for instances of removed and non-namespaced functions in puppetlabs/stdlib v9.0.0+. The plugin will only flag functions removed, that do not have an exact replcacement in core Puppet (for example, upcase or chomp).

class example_module::agent (
  String $ipaddress = '127.0.0.1'
) {
  $chomped = chomp('hello\n')

  if is_ip_address($ipaddress) {
    notice("${ipaddress} is an ipaddress!")
  }

  $size = size('hello')

  $escaped = batch_escape('echo "hello world"')
}

The above manifest will result in this console output:

puppet-lint path/to/file.pp

ERROR: Deprecated function found: 'is_ip_address' on line 6 (check: stdlib_deprecated_functions)
ERROR: Deprecated function found: 'size'. Use length() instead. on line 10 (check: stdlib_deprecated_functions)
WARNING: Deprecated function found: 'batch_escape'. Use stdlib::batch_escape instead. on line 12 (check: stdlib_deprecated_functions)

Notice, there is no output for the chomp(..) function call as there is a direct replacement in core Puppet, meaning the function will continue to work as expected.

  • is_ip_address is flagged as an error, as this will require manual intervention from the user to update this instance to a suitable replacement.
  • size is also flagged as an error was replaced by length() which is shipped with Puppet.
  • batch_escape omits a warning, this is because the function call will continue to work (until later removed from puppetlabs/stdlib), as 'under the hood' puppet will call the namespaced function.

For functions which have a namespaced counterpart (like batch_escape) we can make use of puppet-lint's autocorrect functionality to automate the process of updating these function calls.

class example_module::agent (
  String $ipaddress = ''
) {
...
  $escaped = batch_escape('echo "hello world"')
}
puppet-lint --fix path/to/file.pp
...
FIXED: Deprecated function found: 'batch_escape'. Use stdlib::batch_escape instead. on line 12 (check: stdlib_deprecated_functions)
...

And the updated code will look like:

class example_module::agent (
  String $ipaddress = ''
) {
...
  $escaped = stdlib::batch_escape('echo "hello world"')
}

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

puppet-lint --no-stdlib_deprecated_functions-check path/to/file.pp

Or if you're calling puppet-lint via a Raketask, add this to your Rakefile:

PuppetLint.configuration.send('disable_stdlib_deprecated_functions')

stdlib_deprecated_datatypes

Checks for instances of the removed Stdlib::Compat datatypes in your manifests.

class example_module::agent (
  String $ip = '127.0.0.1',
) {
  if ($ip =~ Stdlib::Compat::Ipv4) {
    notice("${ip} is an ip address!")
  }
}

When running this check, puppet-lint will flag this instance of Stdlib::Compat::Ip_address as an error.

puppet-lint /path/to/file.pp

ERROR: Removed data type found: 'Stdlib::Compat::Ipv4' on line 4 (check: stdlib_deprecated_datatypes)

What you should now use:

class example_module::agent (
  String $ip = '127.0.0.1',
) {
  if ($ip =~ Stdlib::IP::Address) {
    notice("${ip} is an ip address!")
  }
}

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

puppet-lint  --no-stdlib_deprecated_datatypes-check /path/to/file.pp

Or by adding this line to your Rakefile (if calling the puppet-lint rake task).

PuppetLint.configuration.send('disable_stdlib_deprecated_datatypes')
