Description

Puppet 8 requires upgrade to stdlib 9. Stdlib 9 has removed many deprecated functions, if these functions are still in use, Puppet code will fail to compile after upgrading to stdlib 9.

Stdlib should be be upgraded to stdlib 9.x> prior to upgrading to Puppet 8. Stdlib 9 is supported on Puppet 7.

Setup

Beginning with stdlib9_readiness_checker

Add stdlib9 readiness checker to your Puppetfile and deploy code to your Puppet primary.

Stdlib readiness checker task and plan accepts 1 parameter.

Environment: Required: Name of the environment you wish to scan. This could be production, development etc. Note: the plan limits environment names to valid environment names.

check_deprecated: Optional: Whether to check for deprecated functions in stdlib9.

The plan stdlib9_readiness_checker will automatically locate your Puppet primary server. To manually target a Puppet server use the task stdlib9_readiness_checker and select the desired target.

This task should also function when run by Puppet Bolt.

Usage

From within the Puppet Enterprise console, goto plans or tasks and select stdlib9_readiness_checker. Fill in required values then run the task/plan.

Depending on the size of your Puppet code environment, it may take a while to return the results.

Limitations

stdlib9_readiness_checker can be used to help prepare for the migration to stdlib 9. However it should not be solely relied upon to catch all issues. Running your code on stdlib 9 within your test environment is vital before performing production upgrades.
