I should be able to make lint ignore blocks of code

[trevor-vaughan]

I have a case where the linter is crashing when processing an inline template but the template is valid. I should be able to tell lint to ignore a chunk of code altogether.

@trevor-vaughan have you looked at http://puppet-lint.com/controlcomments/?

[trevor-vaughan]

@walkamongus Yes, I didn't see one for "just don't process this stuff"

This is particularly relevant until HEREDOC support is fixed since the linter is getting really upset with lots of different configurations and I fundamentally need to tell it to skip parsing the code up until the next # lint:endignore statement.

I'm working around it by doing horrible things with variables but I really shouldn't need to.

It looks like you want a control comment to turn off all checks, correct?

Can you also provide file contents that caused the linter to crash? I think we would like to track that down even if it is in a different ticket.

[trevor-vaughan]

@rnelson0 Yes, and ignore parsing the code between the comments

It was something like the following:

file { 'stuff':
  content => inline_template(@(EOM)
    template(name="" type="list") {
      
        ()
      
    }
    |EOM
}

@trevor-vaughan does your crash look the same as in #578?

[trevor-vaughan]

@rnelson0 It was similar but I don't remember exactly. I rewrote the code and didn't keep the old version around, sorry.

~On this I've tried to make the linter ignore the errors it gives, but it ignores my ignore lines...~

EDIT: I dunno what's changed but all of a sudden it's allowing me to ignore things. o.o;
