puppet-lint says syntax error, puppet parser says ok

[mvernimmen]

This is a feature request to fix a small annoyance I ran into:

When I have a manifest in DOS line endings mode and then run puppet-lint, I sometimes (depending on the manifest) get this:

[max@zd007 hooks]$ puppet-lint --no-80chars-check --no-hard_tabs-check --no-2sp_soft_tabs-check --no-trailing_whitespace-check --log-format "%{KIND} %{check} says %{message} for %{filename} on line %{linenumber}" /home/m.vernimmen/svn/puppet/modules/staging/fredhopper/manifests/init.pp --with-context
ERROR unknown says Syntax error (try running puppet parser validate <file>) for init.pp on line 329

if ($hostname !~ /^pd0/) {
^

[max@zd007 hooks]$ puppet parser validate /home/m.vernimmen/svn/puppet/modules/staging/fredhopper/manifests/init.pp
[max@zd007 hooks]$

so puppet-lint says there is a syntax error, but the puppet parser validate command is silent (so says it's ok).

Once I convert the file with dos2unix the problem disappears.

The request is to please either:
handle files that are in DOS mode,
OR
give a warning that the file is in DOS mode instead of giving a 'syntax error' while not specifying what is wrong in the syntax.

patch is already in v4, just not released yet.

Has this been fixed? I just ran into the same issue
