puppet-lint ignoring the ignore_paths option

Question

I am using https://github.com/garethr/puppet-module-skeleton as my Puppet module skeleton. For a particular module I am then using puppet-lint via rake. The relevant sections in my Rakefile are as follows:

require 'puppet-lint/tasks/puppet-lint'

PuppetLint.configuration.relative = true
PuppetLint.configuration.send("disable_80chars")
PuppetLint.configuration.log_format = "%{path}:%{linenumber}:%{check}:%{KIND}:%{message}"
PuppetLint.configuration.fail_on_warnings = true

# Forsake support for Puppet 2.6.2 for the benefit of cleaner code.
# http://puppet-lint.com/checks/class_parameter_defaults/
PuppetLint.configuration.send('disable_class_parameter_defaults')
# http://puppet-lint.com/checks/class_inherits_from_params_class/
PuppetLint.configuration.send('disable_class_inherits_from_params_class')

exclude_paths = [
  "pkg/**/*",
  "vendor/**/*",
  "spec/**/*",
]
PuppetLint.configuration.ignore_paths = exclude_paths

When running bundle exec rake lint I get the expected output from puppet-lint, except that puppet-lint is checking files in, for example, vendor/bundle and spec/fixtures/modules as well. Besides not beeing intended, it seems to contradict the last six lines of the above Rakefile snippet. What's wrong?

As you linked, this is currently broken

It has been fixed in this commit: https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-lint/commit/0f2e2db90d5a14382eafbdfebff74048a487372f

However, this was made after the release of 1.1.0

So you can either use the direct Github reference in bundler (or wait for the next release)

source "http://rubygems.org"

group :test do
  gem "puppet-lint", :git => 'https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-lint.git'
end

Or use the work-around you posted:

Rake::Task[:lint].clear
PuppetLint::RakeTask.new :lint do |config|
  config.disable_checks = [ 
    '80chars',
    'class_parameter_defaults',
    'class_inherits_from_params_class'
  ]
  config.log_format = "%{path}:%{linenumber}:%{check}:%{KIND}:%{message}"
  config.fail_on_warnings = true
  #config.relative = true

  config.ignore_paths = exclude_paths
end
