puppet-lint no file resource path attributes

Extends puppet-lint to ensure all file resources use the resource title to indicate the file to manage rather than a symbolic name and the path attribute.

Actions Status

Instead of this:

class path_attribute {
  file { 'ssh_config_file':
    path    => '/etc/ssh/sshd_config',
    content => 'Bad path attribute, bad.',
  }
}

I think, and this check complains unless, you use this format:

class good_namevar {
  file { '/etc/ssh/sshd_config':
    content => 'Good namevar',
  }
}

There is nothing technically wrong with the first form but I'd rather know what the resource type is, and what it manages, without having to read further in to the resouece. Oddly I have no issues with exec resources with command attributes being written in this style.

Installation

To use this plugin add the following line to your Gemfile

gem 'puppet-lint-no_file_path_attribute-check'

and then run bundle install.

Usage
