So the puppet guys provide some notes and files on running puppet with vim.
One thing I didn’t see anything that provided a ‘compiler’, so I could edit a ‘.pp’ file, then do :make to check for errors. (Check out :help make in your vim for more information about the quickfix tool.)
This little tar contains all the files you need to make this work. Careful with it, as I have provided a minimalist .vimrc so don’t unpack this in your home directory.
