Puppet users - Jun 2011 - Puppet Class is applied but is not executed

Hi all,

i'' am having a strange problem with a puppet class, basically i wrote
a small class, no special content (ensure packed is installed). I
applied this class to a linuxbox with puppetclient 2.6.4 installed
(and working for the other classes).

So the problem if I''am forcing now the client to get the new
configuration, it does it very well. No error''s even with the debug
option. In the /var/lib/puppet directory i take a look at the
classes.txt and i find the new class inside.

So i try to force en error with the class be doing a modifying the
class and adding a parser error. Executing again on the linuxbox the
puppet command, nothing happens. I would now expect a error. But it
looks like puppet just doesn''t executed this class.

anyone a idea what i''am missing .. ?

thanks
Christian

You might be missing a message that Puppet is applying a cached
catalog because the master failed to compile a new one; that''s
normally what happens when there is a syntax error in a node''s
manifests.

We''re missing all details of Puppet''s output, whether to the
console
or to the system logs.  Also the contents of the manifests involved
and the command you used to run Puppet.

I agree it is almost certainly a syntax error.  Do this on your class:
puppet --parseonly <class name>

this will do a quick sanity check.  If you want to do more you can also run 
puppet with nodeamonize mode and debug to see what''s wrong.. but  I
have a
feeling that syntax checking will solve it.

I recently had a similar issue. The problem happened to be that
hostname on the box did not include the FQDN, while in puppet
configuration it did.
