# Puppetresources
**Basic usage**
puppetresources --puppetdir /where/your/puppet/files/are --node node.name.com
The `puppetresources` command is a command line utility that let you
interactively compute catalogs on your local computer. It is much faster
than its ruby counterpart, and has been designed for giving assistance
to the Puppet catalog writer.
There are 4 different modes:
- `--node` will display all resources on screen in a nice
user-friendly colored fashion.
- `--all` displays statistics and optionally shows dead code.
- `--parse` only goes as far as parsing. No interpretation.
- `--showcontent` to display file content.
Catalog is not computed exactly the same way Puppet does. Some good
practices are enforced. A strict and more permissive mode are provided.
**Command line arguments**
- `-p` or `--puppetdir`
This argument is mandatory except in `parse` mode. It must point to
the base of the puppet directory (the directory that contains the
`modules` and `manifests` directories).
- `-o` or `--node`
Enable the `node mode`. This let you specify the name of the node
you wish to compute the catalog for.
- `-a` or `--all`
Enable the `stats mode`. If you specify `allnodes` it will compute
the catalogs for all nodes that are specified in `site.pp` (this
will not work for regexp-specified or the default nodes). You can
also specify a list of nodes separated by a comma.
Combined with `--deadcode`, it will display the list of puppet files
that have not been used.
This is useful as automated tests, to check a change didn’t break
something. You might want to run this option with `+RTS -N`.
- `-t` or `--type`
Filters the resources of the resulting catalog by type. Using PCRE
regex is supported.
- `-n` or `--name`
Filters the resources of the resulting catalog by name. Using PCRE
regex is supported.
- `-c` or `--showcontent`
If `-n` is the exact name of a file type resource defined in the
catalog, this will display the file content nicely. Useful for
debugging templates.
Example: `puppetresources -p . -o mynodename -n '/etc/motd'
--showcontent`
- `--loglevel` or `-v`
Possible values are : DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR
- `--pdburl`
Expects the url of a live PuppetDB.
- `--pdbfile`
Expects a path to a **fake** PuppetDB, represented as a YAML file on
disk. This option is pretty slow but can be invaluable to test
exported resources tricks.
- `--hiera`
Expects the path to the `hiera.yaml` file.
- `--ignoredmodules`
Expects a list of comma-separated modules. The interpreter will not
try to parse and evaluate the defined types and classes from this
module. This is useful for using modules that use bad practices
forbidden by `puppetresources`.
- `--commitdb`
When this flag is set, exported resources, catalogs and facts are
saved in the PuppetDB. This is useful in conjunction with
`--pdbfile`.
- `--checkExported`
When this flag is set, exported resources are saved in the PuppetDB.
This is useful in conjunction with `--pdbfile`.
- `-j` or `--JSON`
Displays the catalog as a Puppet-compatible JSON file, that can then
be used with `puppet apply`.
- `--strict`
Enable strict check. Strict is less permissive than vanilla Puppet.
It is meant to prevent some pitfalls by enforcing good practices.
For instance it refuses to
- silently ignore/convert `undef` variables
- lookup an hash with an unknown key and return `undef`.
- `--noextratests`
Disable the extra tests from `Puppet.OptionalTests`.
- `--parse`
Enable `parse mode`. Specify the puppet file to be parsed. Variables
are not resolved. No interpretation.
- `--version`
Output version information and exist.
**Settings defaults using a yaml file**
Defaults for some of these options can be set using a
`/yourworkingdirectory/tests/defaults.yaml` file. For instance
`OptionalTests` is checking that all users and groups are known. Because
some of these users and groups might be defined outside puppet, a list
of known ones is used internally. This can be overridden in that file
using the key `knownusers` and `knowngroups`.
Please look at [the template
file](https://github.com/bartavelle/language-puppet/blob/master/tests/defaults.yaml)
for a list of possible defaults.
# pdbQuery
The `pdbquery` command will work with different implementations of
PuppetDB (the official one with its HTTP API, the file-based backend and
dummy ones). It can be used to:
- export data from production PuppetDB to a file (in order to debug
some issue with `puppetresources`).
- query a Puppetdb
**Command line arguments**
- `-l` or `--location`
The URL of the PuppetDB when working with a remote PuppetDB, a file
path when working with the file-based test implementation.
- `-t` or `--pdbtype`
The type of PuppetDB to work with:
- dummy: a dummy PuppetDB.
- remote: a "real" PuppetDB, accessed by its HTTP API.
- test: a file-based backend emulating a PuppetDB.
- `facts`
Output facts for a specific node (json)
- `nodes`
Output all nodes (json)
- `resources`
Output all resources for a specific node (json)
- `dumpfacts`
Dump all facts to `/tmp/allfacts.yaml`.
- `snapshot`
Create a test DB from the current DB
- `addfacts`
Adds facts to the test DB for the given node name, if they are not
already defined.
- `--version`
Output version information and exit.
# Supported features
- Supported version
puppet 4 is mostly supported. Please look at the list of issues for
details.
- Custom ruby functions
The tool might bark when resolving custom ruby functions. These
function can easily be mocked or implemented in Haskell if
necessary.
- Puppet functions
- the `require` function is not supported (see [issue
\#17](https://github.com/bartavelle/language-puppet/issues/17))
- the deprecated `import` function is not supported
- the deprecated node inheritance feature is not supported
- OS
Linux is the default OS. The tool has also been successfully
installed and used on `OS X`. Windows is not supported.
