Puppet users - Mar 2009 - Can anyone else suggest things to do WRT bug 2041?

I''ve been unable to use storeconfigs for A While Now, and it''s
not
just me anymore; see http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2041

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to try next?

Are you sure you are running Rails 2.0 or 2.1 ?

IMHO, the "synchronize" error you get is not possible with those
versions of rails, since
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool is a class that
appeared in Rails since version 2.2.

I think you have Rails > 2.1 (ie 2.2 or 2.3) installed as gems and that
might be part of your issue.

I once tested storedconfigs with rails 2.2 on macosx and it was working.
Maybe puppet is not (yet) compatible with 2.3 (I''ll do some tests later
this week).

My advise would be for you to check exactly what rails version you are
really using (ie gem, package and so on), and from there take the
necessary steps to remove the incompatbile versions (and on debian lenny
use the rails package).

Hope that helps,

I had not, no.  I''m not on Ubuntu, though, so I have no idea how
that helps me?

To expand on that, the patch affects a line like the following,
adding Ubuntu to it.  My
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/feature/rails.rb has such a
line (that''s where I''m copying it from).

        if Facter["operatingsystem"].value == "Debian" and
            FileTest.exists?("/usr/share/rails")
                count = 0
                Dir.entries("/usr/share/rails").each do |dir|

As I said in the ticket, I know almost nothing about Ruby, so I
don''t know how to tell.  All I know is:

$ dpkg -l | grep -i rails
ii  rails           2.0.1-2             MVC ruby based framework geared for web
application developme
> I think you have Rails > 2.1 (ie 2.2 or 2.3) installed as gems and that

gem list | grep -i rails 

gives no output at all.

I''m actually using an older-than-lenny package.  If you have any
other suggestions as to how I can look for a new rails, I''d love to
hear them.

Shortly after I sent this, the following was added to the ticket:

    I upgraded to 0.24.8 but it made no difference. But adding this
    to the top of lib/puppet/rails.rb fixed it. (I know pretty much
    no Ruby, so this was hacking at its rawest).

    require ''active_record''
    require ''active_support''
    require ''active_record/base''
    require ''active_record/associations''

I''m still on 0.24.7 (I don''t have time to do the upgrade
today), but
adding those require lines to

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/feature/rails.rb
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/rails.rb

did *NOT* help me; I still get:

Restarting puppet configuration management tool master
server/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb:218:
undefined method `synchronize'' for
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool:Class (NoMethodError)

`require''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/active_support/dependencies.rb:509:in
`require''
[snip]

when I try to start the master, and it doesn''t start.

Erm, sorry, to be specific: that''s *with* "storedconfigs =
true".
With it =false, I get:

    Restarting puppet configuration management tool master serverFailed
    to load feature test for rails: undefined method `synchronize'' for
    ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool:Class

but it runs.

`require''
Note: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/active_record is not where debian rails package 
installs its files.
The debian rails package installs into: /usr/share/rails

I maintain your box has several rails version installed and that 
certainly is the source of your issues.

This means to me that the current rails version (certainly a 2.2) that 
your puppetmaster is using is badly installed or corrupted.

synchronize is a Module method that is "installed" by active support 
v2.2. I _think_ your ruby installation contains a mix and match of 
different version of the vairous active_ components.

I''ll tend to suggest you to rm -rf /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/active_* just to 
see if that helps (take a backup before of course). Warning: I''m not 
responsible of any damage to your server or any other application 
running on this server.

Hope that helps,

I mv''d it, actually, and that seems to have done the trick.  Thank
you so much!

And now it''s broken again.  0.o

On the client:

    info: Retrieving plugins
    err: Could not retrieve catalog: Rails is missing; cannot store
configurations
    warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

On the master, in debug mode:

    err: Rails is missing; cannot store configurations
    err: Rails is missing; cannot store configurations

No other information is given.

Looks like the problem was that I have the package
"libactiverecord-ruby1.8" installed.  If I remove that, it wants to
remove libsqlite3-ruby1.8 , which isn''t a problem for me; just
mentioning in case someone else hits this problem.

It seems to me that puppet should be able to still work with
libactiverecord-ruby1.8 , though.
