Puppet users - Feb 2012 - How to create / update resources at puppetmaster without restarting puppetmaster

Guys,

I am trying to add new resources to puppetmaster i am following steps
below

1. Creating a testclass.pp in "manifests/services" directory
2. Trying to apply newly created class to the node using ruby script
ie testmanifest.rb


As a result of above steps i am getting error below

"err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Cannot find definition Class on node"

Please help how may i create new resources and use them without
restarting

Hi,

You will need to provide more detail as to what you are doing. We have no idea
what the following does:
> testclass.pp 
or
> testmanifest.rb

Loosely speaking puppet will rescan files in /etc/puppet without the need to
restart the master (depending on your version of puppet).

Cheers
Den

Yes, but also Puppet will not autoload manifest files from manifests/
services/, and I think not even from manifests/.  If you put your
manifests in those places then you need to ''import'' them for
Puppet to
be able to see their contents.  It would be far better, however, to
put substantially all manifests into modules, following the standard
module layout, so that the autoloader can find them.

That could look like this:

1) testclass.pp goes in modules/test/manifests/
2) an empty init.pp also goes in modules/test/manifests/
3) testclass.pp contains a single class named
''test::testclass''

Node definitions would then assign that class by

include ''test::testclass''

or possibly

class { ''test::testclass'': }
