Puppet users - Aug 2011 - Having trouble with create_resources

Hey all,

I''m running puppet 2.7.3 on CentOS, and am trying to use the new 
create_resources function.  I have a class that looks like this:

scp_account($userid, $unixid, $password) {
    .....
}

and I''m trying to call it with a hash of parameters like so:

# Create a hash of the scp accounts
$scp_accounts = {
    ''joe'' => {userid => ''joe'', unixid
=> ''700'', password =>
''$1$sdfasdfasdfasdfsdaf''},
    ''bob'' => {userid => ''bob'', unixid
=> ''701'', password =>
''$1$asdfsdfsadfasdfsadf''}
}
create_resources(''scp_account'', $scp_accounts) 

However - when I try to run it, I''m getting an error like so:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Must pass userid to Class[Production_scp_accounts::Scp_account] at 
/etc/puppet/modules/production_scp_accounts/manifests/scp_account.pp:1

I''m sure it''s user error, but I''m having a hard time
figuring out exactly
what I''m doing wrong. 

Thanks!

Update - the above error was happening because I had left in an "include 
''scp_account''" statement at the top.  I took that out,
but now I''m running
into this issue:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
could not create resource of unknown type 
production_scp_accounts::scp_account 

My directory structure looks like this:

modules
    production_scp_accounts
        init.pp
        scp_account.pp

The create_resources call is in init.pp, in a class called 
"production_scp_accounts".  scp_account.pp has a class called 
"production_scp_accounts::scp_account", which I thought would be 
automatically picked up because I''m following the namespacing rules.  

Any thoughts?

create_resource is for resources, not classes. Also if you change it
from a class to a define, the resource name in your example would be:
production_scp_acounts:scp_accounts. If you want a custom resource
called scp::account, your module layout should be:

modules
  - scp
    - manifests
       - account.pp

define scp::account {
...
}

Thanks,

Nan

I just figured that out.  If I change it to a defined resource, it works. 
 What led me in the wrong direction, though, was this sentence in the 
function documentation:  

" This is currently tested for defined resources, classes, as well as
native
types"

I guess that''s not really the case?

I need to be more precise about what I write, it will work for a class:

class hello_world {
  notify { "hi": }
}

create_resource("class", {hello_world})

I should of wrote "in your case, create_resource is intended for
resources, not classes."

Thanks,

Nan
