Puppet / PUP-8482 Create a formal representation of the AST that can replace the current dump format Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Thomas Hallgren Created: 2018/02/22 6:06 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Thomas Hallgren A formal representation of the Puppet AST is needed for multiple purposes: The current output from puppet parser dump is undocumented and not distinct enough to fully represent the AST (the AST cannot be recreated from this dump since some information is lost). A well documented and unambiguous format is required to make it API. A format is needed to facilitate cross-platform test suites for the parser. Add Comment

Re: Create a formal representation of the AST that can replace the current dump format The puppet parser dump needs to accept a flag for the new format so that those that use the old can continue doing so. For example --format=6. It also needs to emit a deprecation warning for the regular format (that we can name format=5). We need a ticket for Puppet 6.0.0 where the default format becomes 6. We need to decide on when the old format is to be removed as we also need to update all of the tests that currently use the old format. (Or at least, make the old format not be available via the command line).

Maybe there is more to the format, as you may want the new PN format, or JSON.
