Puppet Strings
A Puppet Face and plugin built on the YARD Documentation Tool and Puppet Future Parser.
WARNING: This is very much a science experiment in progress. Things may blow up or change rapidly depending on the Temperature in Portland on a given day.
Installation
So far, this module has been developed against Puppet 3.6.x. It will not work with earlier versions.
Currently, just git clone
directly into the Puppet modulepath
.
Ensure the yard
and rgen
gems are installed.
If running Ruby 1.8.7, ensure the backports
gem is installed.
Usage
Documenting a module:
cd /path/to/module
puppet strings
This processes README
and everything in manifests/**/*.pp
.
Documenting specific manifests:
puppet strings some_manifest.pp [another_if_you_feel_like_it.pp]
Processing is delegated to the yardoc
tool so some options listed in yard help doc
are available.
However, Puppet Faces do not support passing arbitrary options through a face so these options must be specified in a .yardopts
file.
Caveats
-
At the moment, only top-level Classes and Defined Types are parsed and formatted.
-
Documentation blocks must immediately precede the documented code with no whitespace. This is because the comment extractor possesses the elegance and intelligance of a bag of hammers.
-
Support for Ruby 1.8.7 may disappear in the future.
-
This is a science experiment. It has a high probability of exploding catastrophically instead of doing something useful.
