Question: using config file, with custom path

[jeff1evesque]

I am currently implementing the following lines within my .travis.yml:

...
install:
  - gem install puppet-lint
...
script:
  - puppet-lint --no-ensure_first_param-check --no-autoloader_layout-check --no-variable_scope-check puppet/environment/development/manifests
  - puppet-lint --no-ensure_first_param-check puppet/environment/development/modules
...

The documentation states:

puppet-lint will also check for a .puppet-lint.rc file in the current directory and your home directory and read in flags from there, so if you wanted to always skip the hard tab character check, you could create ~/.puppet-lint.rc containing

--no-hard_tabs-check

However, I'm curious if I can implement a similar implementation within my .travis.yml, instead of disabling checks inline, within the .travis.yml:

...
script:
  - puppet-lint --config /path/to/.puppet-lint.rc puppet/environment/development/manifests
...

Note: I'm hoping to have /path/to/.puppet-lint.rc not be in the current, or home directory.

@jeff1evesque While you might be able to achieve this locally, it is unlikely Travis CI could be made to find a file outside of your git repo without serious contortions. However, that is not an issue with puppet-lint itself. You may have some success on IRC researching an answer. I suggest you look at using a Gemfile and Rakefile to get started.

What about:

...
script:
  - puppet-lint --config /path/to/local/git/repo/custom-directory/.puppet-lint.rc puppet/environment/development/manifests
...
