"pdk validate --auto-correct" removes the first two letters of the class module name when "pdk" encounters "include ::class_name"

[bschonec]

Describe the bug

pdk-2.6.1.0-1.el7.x86_64

"pdk validate" incorrectly removes both the "::" and the first two letters of the class module to be included in the following instance:

class profile::base {
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include ::puppet
  include ::class1
  include ::class2
}

The resulting file after correction:

class profile::base {
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include ::ppet
  include ::class1
  include ::class2
}

Notice how "include ::puppet" has been changed to "include ::ppet". The bug happens after every occurrence of ".include":

BEFORE:

class profile::base {
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include :: first_class
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include ::second_class
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include ::third_class
}

AFTER:

class profile::base {
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include rst_class
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include cond_class
  lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include
  include ird_class
}

To Reproduce

The first "include ::class_module" following a line that contains ".include is incorrect. If you remove the ".include" after the lookup function, then no error occurs.

Expected behavior

Expectation is that the class module name is not altered (incorrectly) when removing the "::'.

@bschonec Hey, having some issues with replicating this, could you confirm it is still an issue and if so, could you tell me what rule is enforcing this change.
PDK valid should output it.

[bschonec]

I neglected to include the '-a' argument for 'pdk validate'.

I noticed that if I have only a "../manifests/a.pp" file with the above format that 'pdk validate -a' will remove the "pu" letters from the file.

If I have another .pp file in the ../manifests directory, then the problem doesn't occur.

Try your test again with only a single .pp file, please.

@bschonec Could you tell me exactly what rule is being autocorrected to cause this?
I am still having difficulties replicating and it may be that my default rule setup doesn't include it.

Given the file being corrected it seems likely that this is an issue with puppet-lint specifically.

It seems to happen when:

lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include

is included in the class module. I don't know if this helps:

The linter removes the first two characters after the double-colons only when this line precedes:

lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique', []).include

Once the double-colons are removed by the linter, then this behavior stops.
