Using VS Code with PDK -- how can I manually run puppet-lint?

[Dan Mahoney]

Hey there all,

I apologize if this is off-topic.  If it is, please do let me know where better to ask.  I tried joining the puppet-vscode slack but it apparently only works if I have a puppet.com email address.

I'm on a mac, using Visual Studio Code with the PDK installed via homebrew.  The version of puppet-lint included with the PDK runs WAY more tests than any previous version of puppet-lint.

So, here are my questions:

1) Obviously the vscode plugin is running some version of puppet-lint behind the scenes, but it's unclear as to how I can run that manually in a terminal (perhaps with --fix).  When I installed pdk, it put it in /opt/puppetlabs/pdk/bin/pdk, but didn't do anything like that for puppet-lint.

2) Is there an easy way to grab those extra tests for a system that doesn't have them?  It looks to be like 20 different ruby gems, all dumped into /opt/puppetlabs/pdk/share/cache/ruby/2.5.0/gems

ls |grep lint | grep check

It turns out the answer to my second question is:

gem install voxpupuli-puppet-lint-plugins

...which seems to be a meta package that installs most of the nonstandard plugins which were then adopted by pdk.

I'm not sure how we can get those added to official puppet-lint so this step isn't necessary.

PDK allows you to also run rake tasks

pdk bundle exec rake -T

Gives you an overview on available rake tasks.

There is not a way to just run puppet-lint on a file from that.
