Empty lines with trailing whitespace triggers redundant soft tabs error.

[james-powis]

Using version 2.0.0 of the gem the manifest on an empty line without spacing equiling the two-space soft tab we get this following:
manifests/jenkins.pp - ERROR: trailing whitespace found on line 34
manifests/jenkins.pp - ERROR: two-space soft tabs not used on line 34

Where as with the two-space soft tab we get:
manifests/jenkins.pp - ERROR: trailing whitespace found on line 34

Where as on version 1.1.0 with 2 space soft-tabs on an empty line produces no errors.

@james-powis you mean a line with only two spaces in it? IMHO, puppet-lint is now correct, and was wrong before.

Probably your editor is leaving these spaces, but it can surely be configured not to.

The trailing whitespace error is correct, that should not be there.

However, the soft tabs error, while technically correct, is nonsensical, since it's in trailing whitespace. Fixing that remedies the other error, so in this case soft tabs should be suppressed.

[james-powis]

you are absolutely correct... VIM was failing to remove the whitespace... hitting x did the trick... closing as my stupidity
