Error parsing this YAML file.

[klynton]

Hi,

As a pre-commit hook I'm checking to see that my code is able to be parsed, like so:

for file in `git diff-index --cached --diff-filter=AM --name-only HEAD`
do
  echo "Validating ${file}..."

  case "${file##*.}" in
    "pp")  puppet parser validate ${file}
           ;;

    "erb") /opt/puppet/bin/erb -P -x -T '-' ${file} | /opt/puppet/bin/ruby -c >/dev/null
           ;;

    "yaml") /opt/puppet/bin/ruby -ryaml -e "YAML.load_file '${file}'" >/dev/null
           ;;

  esac

  EXITCODE=$((EXITCODE + $?))
done

This file causes the pre-commit hook to fail with the following error:

root@klynton:puppetcode # git commit -m 'really'

This simple change allows the YAML to be parsed.

This is legit. If you would add a test to our suite do the same validation you would be my hero.

@nibalizer Sent a PR to bodeco/bodeco_module_helper#12 with the code.
