Puppet users - Dec 2013 - Stdlib and Defined Types

All,

Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate
functions in the Stdlib?

If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea
what actually threw the error.

Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when
defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling
class/define/stack was blowing up.

Thanks,

Trevor

 Annoying indeed - had this issue quite often as well. What you want is to 
change this in your checkout of stdlib (modules/stdlib):

For spec/unit/puppet/parser/functions/validate_*_spec.rb

Change all:
expect { scope.compiler.compile }.to raise_error(Puppet::ParseError

to:
expect { scope.compiler.compile }.to raise_error(Puppet::Error

William,

Thanks for the response. Ironically, I was trying to figure out how to
change it in production.

I had a case where all of my tests passed but production was failing. It
turned out to be some strange hiera-fu but it would have been *much* easier
to be able to just get the file path directly.

Thanks,

Trevor
