Match function breaks puppet-lint

[bryanjbelanger]

The following line of code will break puppet-lint.

$some_var = $other_var.match(/([\w.]+(:\d+)?(/\w+)?)(:(\w+))?/)

Thanks

@bryanjbelanger I'm not able to reproduce this locally. Can you please update the issue to include the error you're getting, which version of puppet-lint, and which version of Ruby you're using?

$ puppet parser validate 641.pp
Error: Could not parse for environment production: end pattern with unmatched parenthesis: /([\w.]+(:\d+)?(/

This is not valid puppet syntax and puppet-lint should only be used on valid files. The 3.x branch will be adding a pre-check for this, see #586:

$ be puppet-lint 641.pp
641.pp: ERROR: cannot be validated by `puppet parser validate`.
