[Puppet Users] what is "private method `split'' called for nil:NilClass" error??
Dear all, I have this line: <% $c_repo.split('','').each_with_index do |repo, i| %> in one of my template files and on the target node I''m getting this error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse template zmfs/zmfs_prob.erb: private method `split'' called for nil:NilClass Any idea what am I missing?

Cheers!!I shall assume that you declare a variable $c_repo somewhere in your manifest. In your template, reference it as ''c_repo'' without the leading dollar sign: <% c_repo.split('','').each_with_index do |repo, i| %> HTH, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

...and to close that loop: in Ruby, ''$c_repo'' is a global variable. Because nothing will ever have assigned it, you called the `split` method on the default value, `nil`, which raised that error. Puppet then reported it. :) Daniel On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 10:17, Sans <r.santanu.das@gmail.com> wrote:> thanks Felix! that''s it - good catch. did not notice the "$" sign at > all. working just fine now. > > Cheers, > San > > On Dec 7, 3:33 pm, Felix Frank <felix.fr...@alumni.tu-berlin.de> > wrote: >> >> >> I shall assume that you declare a variable $c_repo somewhere in your >> manifest. >> >> In your template, reference it as ''c_repo'' without the leading dollar sign: >> >> <% c_repo.split('','').each_with_index do |repo, i| %> >> >> HTH, >> Felix > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. >-- ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
