Jira (PUP-2531) Provide validation tool for EPP

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: Provide validation tool for EPP Testing templates in a vacuum requires being able to pass a hash map of name to values. It would also be very beneficial to be able to render the result of the template interactively. These two features suggest that there should be a separate command for epp - e.g. epp validate mytemplate.epp --values '{a => foo, b=> 10}' epp render mytemplate.epp --values '{a => foo, b=> 10}' These are evaluated in an environment. Since they may reference global variables, the initial import must also take place just as it does for puppet parser validate, but it cannot run an actual compilation (while that reports issues, it would then be meaningless to have a separate validate, since the templates are validated when parsed and evaluated anyway). Thus, for well written templates, that only access local variables (and globals) these to features of an epp face / command are of great value. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2531 Provide validation tool for EPP For {{.pp}} files users have {{puppet parser validate}} to check if the syntax is right. However, for EPP there is no equivalent command. There needs to be one. If it is possible to accurately detect the file type maybe {{puppet parser validate}} could do the determination automagically. If there isn't, then we could maybe add a flag to the command to ...
