Syntax errors are the most common errors that we see when we develop code. It's easy to miss simple syntax when typing code, and to push failing code to a test environment. In the following example, the closing bracket to the class at the end of the file is missing:
[root@wordpress puppet]# puppet agent -tInfo: Using configured environment 'production'Info: Retrieving pluginfactsInfo: Retrieving pluginInfo: Retrieving localesInfo: Loading factsError: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER:
Server Error: Syntax error at end of input (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/profile/manifests/baseline.pp) on node wordpress
We can test for this failure long before it is deployed ...
