GitHub Action for Puppet Lint

This Action for Puppet Lint enables arbitrary actions for interacting with Puppet Lint to test Puppet code against the recommended Puppet language style guide.

Puppet Lint validates only code style; it does not validate syntax. If you wish to perform syntax validation, you can use the puppet-parser-validate-action Github Action.

Usage

An example workflow for testing manifests for correct Puppet style - run the puppet-lint command with the path to the files you want to test as args.

name: Puppet Lint

on: [push]

jobs:
  puppet-lint:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: puppet-lint
      uses: irasnyd/puppet-lint-action@master
      with:
        args: ./

If you wish to use a specific version, without needing to rebuild the container each time, you can use the version hosted on the Docker Hub.

name: Puppet Lint

on: [push]

jobs:
  puppet-lint:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: puppet-lint
      uses: docker://irasnyd/puppet-lint-action:2.4.2-2
      with:
        args: ./

For example:

See Testing with Puppet Lint for full usage details.
