Puppet users - Oct 2011 - defined resource type not working in 2.7.5

Hello All,

     I''m having problems getting a simple defined resource type work. 
 Here''s an example of what I''m trying to run:

class app_deployer2 {
 define fil($ensure) { file {$name:
   content => "this is a test"
   }
 }

 fil { "File1" :ensure => "/tmp/file1" }

 }

#
But when I run it, I keep on geting error:

"err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter path failed: File paths must be 
fully qualified, not ''File1'' at 
/etc/puppet/modules/app_deployer2/manifests/init.pp:5"

As far as I can tell, this should work, but is not.  Can anyone see what
I''m
missing?

Thanks,

This is the whole file:
class app_deployer2 {

define fil($ensure= "present", $path) { file {$name:
   content => "this is a test"
   }
 }

fil { "File1": path => "/tmp/file1" }
}

#
and this is the error message I keep on getting:
"err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter path failed: File paths must be 
fully qualified, not ''File1'' at 
/etc/puppet/modules/app_deployer2/manifests/init.pp:5"

It looks like you''re passing in the path parameter but not using it
within your file declaration inside the define. Without a path, Puppet
needs the name parameter to have a full path. Add ''path =>
$path'' to
your file resource and see if that gets you working.

In addition to what Rob mentioned, $name gets translate to the title
of the resource, which is "File1". So if you meant to do support
something similar to puppet resource where you have a namevar and it
defaults to the title, unless you specify namevar (example below is
path) write it this way:

define my_file ($path = $name, $content) {
  file { $name:
    path     => $path,
    content => $content,
  }
}

This is supported starting 2.6.5+ with the fix of #5061.

Thanks,

Nan
