Puppet users - Aug 2011 - Custom provider works only immediately after sync

Hi all,

 I''ve got a custom type with a single custom provider. I''ve
got
enabled pluginsync in both client and server. When I run the puppet
agent in the client it syncs the type and the provider and properly
executes them. But if I execute the agent again it will tell me

err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a
default provider for passwduser

If I go to the server and modify a single line just to trigger the
sync and execute the agent again, it properly syncs the modification
and runs properly the provider. Then if I run again it goes back to no
default provider.

Any hints? tips? I''ve looked at the docs and the mailing list and
haven''t found anything similar.

Thanks for any hint.

Cheers,
 Adri

Both files are .rb Files? I just know that when puppet syncs plugins, it
will load them no matter what they are (READMEs, helper scripts that are
not written in ruby, etc) while on a normal puppetrun puppet will just
load the ruby code.

Hi again,

 I just checked and both files are rb files:

/etc/puppet/modules/users/lib/puppet $ find .
./provider
./provider/passwdparser.rb
./type
./type/passwduser.rb


The passwduser type seems to be properly loaded each time but the
passwdparser provider doesn''t.

Cheers,
 Adri

The directory structure should read [1]

  type/<type>.rb
  provider/<type>/<provider>.rb

so in your case it should be

  lib/puppet/type/passwduser.rb
  lib/puppet/provider/passwduser/passwdparser.rb

Let me know if it is working now.

Hi,

 Thanks! It worked. I clearly overlooked that bit.

Cheers,
