Fair enough.  It's not super urgent, but it surprised me.  Thanks!

Bug #11524: Puppet validate doesn't catch what I expect to be syntax errors
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11524

Author: Bill Weiss
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: parser
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.8
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I totally believe this is valid syntax, but I don't expect it to be :)  
Thoughts?
<pre>

bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ cat manifests/init.pp 
class ittools {
jkhsdkjhfsd
hjksdfjk
dsjkfhdjkshf
lkj
  package { ['nmap', 'collectl', 'ruby-devel.x86_64',
    'rpm-build', 'rubygem-fpm', 'subversion' ]:
    ensure => latest
  }
}
bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ puppet --version
2.7.9
bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ puppet parser validate 
manifests/init.pp 
bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ echo $?
0
</pre>
However, a more normal syntax error would be caught:
<pre>

bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ cat manifests/init.pp 
class ittools {
  package { ['nmap', 'collectl', 'ruby-devel.x86_64',
    'rpm-build', 'rubygem-fpm', 'subversion' ]:
    ensure => latest'
  }
}
bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ puppet parser validate !$
puppet parser validate manifests/init.pp
err: Could not parse for environment production: Unclosed quote after '' in '
  }
}
' at /home/bweiss/repos/puppet/modules/ittools/manifests/init.pp:4
err: Try 'puppet help parser validate' for usage
bweiss@rezal-evad-gib:~/repos/puppet/modules/ittools$ echo $?
1
</pre>

This was also the case in 2.7.8, if that matters.
