Rules

False Positives: Skipping Rules

Some rules are bit of a rule of thumb. To skip a specific rule for a specific task, inside your state add # noqa [rule_id] at the end of the line. You can skip multiple rules via a space-separated list. Example:

/tmp/testfile:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://{{unspaced_var}}/example  # noqa: 206
