puppet parser validate across all manifests as part of this - which
results in much hilarity and tears.

The latest one was when I pulled in puppetlabs/apache.

.../modules/apache/manifests$ puppet parser validate balancer.pp
--parser=future
Warning: You cannot collect exported resources without storeconfigs
being set; the collection will be ignored at
.../modules/apache/manifests/balancer.pp:65:5
.../modules/apache/manifests$ puppet parser validate balancer.pp
--parser=future --storeconfigs=true
Error: Could not parse application options: needless argument:
--storeconfigs=true

In general, warnings have been about things that I should care about,
and I enforce them, but this one's just plain improper.

The warning is issues because the code contains collection of exported resources. It is a known issue that this should not be a parse time warning since the environment where parsing/validation takes place does not have to have storeconfigs set at all (the result is the same anyway, the difference is when running that code).

The future parser has the same warning "to be compatible".

We will fix this during the 4x series if it does not make it in time for Puppet 4.0

If you really want to not see the error, you have to configure storeconfigs: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/using_stored_configuration - which as you can see in that information is deprecated if you want to use Rails and ActiveRecord, in favor of PuppetDB. This means you have to have a PuppetDb set up when you are validating... (and the lines of yaks requiring a haircut keeps piling up).


Am I off base, or should this be a bug report against puppet's parser?
(btw: future or not future, same result.)


No need, it is a known issue (if you are referring to the pointless warning about storeconfigs when there is a collection of exported resources in the code).
