Issue #1387 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower.
Description updated
Ok, so better late than never :)
The ablility to validate manifests using custom types seems to be fixed in
atleast Puppet 2.7.x:
$ git clone git://github.com/duritong/puppet-mysql.git
$ cd puppet-mysql/
$ puppet parser validate manifests/server/munin/default.pp

Bug #1387: parseonly fails when using custom types
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1387#change-62077
Author: Peter Meier
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: newfeature
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.4
Keywords: parseonly, custom types
Branch:
If I have cutom types, like the mysql type from DavidS and use them in
manifests, the manifests will fail with the parseonly option.
It seems obvious that puppet can't know anything from your own types and
therefor the type is unknown to it. However if you'd like to use parseonly as a
sytax checker, this behaviour is obviously not that cool. On the otherside for
a complete syntax check parseonly should fail on unknown types.
Maybe this problem could be "solved" by adding a --ignoreunknowntypes option to
the --parseonly option, like the --ignoreimports option. A better, but I think
more complicated, solution would be to have an additional option to pass
additional (module) directories to the --parseonly option, where the custom
types can be looked up.
We'd like to use the parseonly option for syntax checking while checking in,
however as we use custom types we can't currently use it.
