Try running the `lint_fix` task instead and you'll see most or all of the offenses marked as `FIXED` instead of `ERROR` or `WARNING` indicating that it has fixed the source files for you.
Some offenses cannot be fixed automatically and you may have to update them yourself.

The `legacy_facts` check reports facts such as `$::osfamily` that OpenVox 8 agents no longer send.
See [Find legacy facts](/openvox/8.x/upgrade_major.html#find-legacy-facts) for what the check covers and what it misses.

If you use Jig, `jig validate` runs the `validate`, `lint`, and `rubocop` tasks in turn (equivalent to `bundle exec rake validate lint rubocop`), stopping at the first failure.
Pass `-sl` to run only the syntax and lint checks and skip Rubocop.
It doesn't run `lint_fix`, so run the `lint_fix` task directly when you want automatic fixes.

You can either upgrade to Puppet 7 and then switch to OpenVox 7 and then upgrade to OpenVox 8, or you can upgrade to Puppet 8 and then migrate to OpenVox 8.

See [Upgrading from Puppet 7 to OpenVox 8](upgrade_major.html) for the changes to review before you move from 7 to 8.
