puppet-lint use_ensure_packages check

To use this plugin, add the following like to the Gemfile in your Puppet code base and run bundle install.

gem 'puppet-lint-use_ensure_packages-check'

This plugin provides a new check to puppet-lint.

--fix support: yes

This check will raise a error for constructs like the following.

  if ! defined(Package['foo']) {
    package { 'foo': }
  }

And offer you the option to rewrite it to use ensure_packages with the --fix option. This would be transformed into the following.

  ensure_packages(['foo'])
