Puppet users - Jun 2008 - usage of the common and shorewall module from David Schmidt

Hi all

Before I loose my mind completely, I''d like to know if I''m the
only
one to bang my head against this problem. (And though I probably  
should contact David directly, I''m asking on the list first, in case  
anyone else has something to say).

I''m trying to use Davids shorewall module, together with the dependant
common module. But I''m getting the following two errors, and I  
honestly don''t know where to look anymore:

  Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find dependent  
Exec[concat_/var/lib/puppet/modules/shorewall] for File[/var/lib/ 
puppet/modules/shorewall/interfaces.d] at /etc/puppet/modules/ 
shorewall/manifests/init.pp:54

and

Configuration could not be instantiated: File[/var/lib/puppet/modules/ 
shorewall/interfaces.d] is already being managed

I have both modules added in modules.pp, defined a [modules]  
fileserver section and included shorewall ("include shorewall") in my
node configuration.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

I too had problems getting the shorewall module to work. I eventually
gave up on it. I''m in the puppet class this week with Luke and
it''s
one of the first things I''m going to work on when I get back.
I''d be
interested in working with you on it.

Yes, let''s try to work on this together. Do you get the same errors as
I do? It seems to me, that puppet doesn''t see the common module that  
the shorewall module is depending on. But I''m importing both, common  
first and then shorewall. So I simply can''t figure out why it
doesn''t
work...

I''m on a mini vacation right now (thursday ''til sunday) and
I''m
probably not able to take a more thorough look at it before monday...

The shorewall module never went into production over here, so there might be 
some problems with it. I''ll gladly publish patches ;) 


To the specific errors: this looks as if a concatenated_file is missing or 
duplicated...

Ok. The funny thing is, that I''ve used it succesfully on one machine  
last year (I think), but now it doesn''t work at all. I upgraded to the
latest version from your git repo, in the hope that it would fix the  
problem. But unfortunately it didn''t... :-(

I''ll see if I can find the culprit and make som patches (I have to  
figure out that last bit too :-)

I''ve searched in my modules dir, and only one definition of  
cancatenated_file exists. So it can''t be that...

go figure .. since I don''t use it, I probably changed common
incompatably ...

''a concatenated_file'' meaning a specific resource using that
define.

I got most of the module working last night, so don''t change anything
yet. I''ve got some (what I hope) minor changes to the module and
I''ll
send the fixes up to David.

Hmm, maybe. But I didn''t update since I used it the last time  
succesfully. It was only when it didn''t work, that I tried to update -
both shorewall and common module...

So my guess is that the error or incompatibility was introduced with a  
new version of puppet, and that it did work with an earlier version...

 From common/manifests/defines/concatenated_file.pp

define concatenated_file (
	# where the snippets are located
	$dir = '''',
	# a file with content to prepend
	$header = '''',
	# a file with content to append
	$footer = '''',
	$mode = 0644, $owner = root, $group = 0
	)
....

The definition is made in the top scope (not wrapped in any classes)  
so all modules and classes should be able to call it (and the exec  
{ "concat_${name}" stanza in that define). But puppet claims to be  
unable to see it. Weird...

That sounds good. Been pulling my hair on this one for some days now,  
and I really want it to work. :-)

So? The "define" is only a template. Where do you create the actual 
resource?

For reference again, your error message:
> Configuration could not be instantiated: Could not find dependent  
> Exec[concat_/var/lib/puppet/modules/shorewall] for File[/var/lib/ 
> puppet/modules/shorewall/interfaces.d] at /etc/puppet/modules/

This means usually means that you have a concatenated_file_part, without 
the matching concatenated_file. This can happen by not matching the $dir 
(I often mix up trailing slashes) or by simpler omission of the latter.

I have a working shorewall module in production from DavidS with little
changes. Unfortunately my public git repo isn''t currently avaiable and
I
didn''t yet push it on github. If you can wait a day or so,
I''ll send the
link on the list. Otherwise you can contact me on irc: duritong

sorry, nearly forgot that:

https://git.puppet.immerda.ch/?p=module-shorewall

some changes to davids module, however fully compatible with all his
others, which are needed due to dependencies (like common etc.)
