[Puppet Users] Puppet 3.1.1 and file… -> Error: Failed to apply catalog: Attribute 'user' or 'target' is mandatory

Hello,

Seems that file ressource gets a new idea of what to be given.

I have the following recipe :

class resolvconf {
        file { 
                "/etc/resolv.conf": 
                        owner => root,
                        group => wheel,
                        mode => 644,
                        source =>
"puppet:///puppet/dist/resolv.conf",
         }
} 


When doing puppet agent --test I have this cryptic message :

# puppet agent --test -D
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for puppet.local.oav.net
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Attribute ''user'' or
''target'' is mandatory

So I went into documentation, but user or target attribute is not the right for
this kind of recipe... Or the documentation is not up to date.

Is there any hint about this new error...

Xavier

Hi,

what else is in your manifest? Does your node also declare a cron or
ssh_authorized_key resource? Because that would make a lot more sense.

Cheers,
Felix

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 3.1.1 and file… -> Error: Failed to apply catalog: Attribute 'user' or 'target' is mandatory

Hi,

My node is declaring (for now) only this classe

node mail01 {
	include resolvconf
}

It was "working" on puppet 2.8 but in 3.0 and 3.1 -> now way...

OK, then I suggest commenting out that include for the time being.

Add a simple ''notify { "It works": }'' to the node
and see if that runs.

If yes, add a simple file resource etc.

This is what I did :

node.pp :

class resolvconf {
       file { 
               "/etc/resolv.conf": 
                       owner  => "root",
                       group  => "wheel",
                       mode   => "0644",
                       source =>
"puppet:///puppet/dist/resolv.conf",
        }
} 

node mail01 {
	include resolvconf
}

Is it very simple... Now WTF is broken ...

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Attribute ''user'' or
''target'' is mandatory

I tryed to use :

user => "root"

But puppet agent says : Invalid parameter ''user'' -> ok so
the error is bloody stupdi

When I try to add
target => "puppet:///puppet/dist/resolv.conf"

I get this stupid error : Error: Failed to apply catalog: You cannot specify
more than one of content, source, target

So does this things want ?

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 3.1.1 and file… -> Error: Failed to apply catalog: Attribute 'user' or 'target' is mandatory

Okay after fighting, seem that my class user that use ssh_authorized_key
ressource is giving me this headache.


So... I tried some stuff on this : http://pastealacon.com/32000 but I have no
clues :(

wrong class...

Gee, thanks for being this guy
(http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A-Misleading-Memory.aspx)

Have you made sure that $1 $2 and $3 are available in the scope you are
using them?

That code is not very robust, you may want to wrap the
ssh_authorized_key into a defined type with sane default parameters, so
undefined variables will not hurt you in these exciting ways.
