The future parser is a feature in Puppet 3.8 designed to provide functionally identical to the Puppet language in Puppet 4.0.
You can use these options to enable the future parser for the "from" catalog, the "to" catalog, or both catalogs:
--parser-from future
will enable the future parser for the "from" catalog--parser-to future
will enable the future parser for the "to" catalog--parser future
will enable the future parser for both the "from" catalog and the "to" catalog
Note that you can also enable the future parser by creating a file named environment.conf
in the base directory of your Puppet checkout. When octocatalog-diff
computes the catalog from this directory, Puppet will read this file and act upon it accordingly.
