class rules should apply to plans as well

[bastelfreak]

Use Case

We've a lot of checks that apply to classes (and sometimes defined resources). For example the parameter_order check. It ensures that parameter without a value are listed before parameters with a value. I think those checks should apply to plans as well, but puppet-lint explicitly only checks classes and defined resources: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-lint/blob/main/lib/puppet-lint/plugins/check_classes/parameter_order.rb#L8

Describe the Solution You Would Like

Treat plans as classes and apply the same checks.

I miss it when working on Bolt plans in a VSCode with Puppet plugin! Though need to check carefully for any corner cases. E.g. direct lookup() is pretty ok to have in a plan.

[bastelfreak]

Yes, not all checks apply to plans. But the majority.

We don't believe plans have been fully reviewed in terms of style and semantics in the same fashion as the puppet language.
Thanks for raising but to get more info we'll defer to @davidsandilands.

@pmcmaw @jordanbreen28 not sure if this issue should be moved to https://github.com/puppetlabs/language-style-guide or kept open and referenced to an issue there?

@bastelfreak we have moved this to the appropriate repository for that teams review. Thanks

[bastelfreak]

@danadoherty639 hey, do you have any update here?

[davidsandilands]

@bastelfreak this is on my todo list as ultimately this should come from the language steering group which as part of the changes to open source should be made up of community and Puppet inc reps
