Originally raised in PDK-711 :
Would like the ability to run an arbitrary puppet validate on any standalone .pp file and not be required to be in a module directory or be required to download and install the puppet agent.
Currently, when you try to do this, you get the following error:
This will work on arbitrary puppet files outside of a module but to run this arbitrarily, requires that you be working in an existing and valid module directory.
If this is a special case or could cause problems with usage elsewhere, I think it's acceptable to add this as an additional flag on the command line. Otherwise, maybe just change the existing error to a warning when the user tries to validate arbitrary puppet code outside of a valid module directory?
