Jira (PUP-1900) Validate no-op expressions

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-1900 Validate no-op expressions Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Andy Parker Components: DSL Created: 08/Mar/14 10:44 AM Fix Versions: 3.6.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg The "4-0 checker" does not validate no-ops. This should not be a valid Puppet Program: puppet apply --parser future -e '1 2 3 4' The validation of this is unfortunately a bit slow as each sequence /block of expressions must be scanned to determine if it has a side effect. When we have the "fast loading serialized model"-feature implemented this validation should be added. The consequence of allowing the no-ops is only surprising; evaluation simply produces values that are immediately thrown away, there is no harm, but user should be told that something is wrong as the expressions are pointless and user probably intended something else (or is confused).
