[Puppet Users] Puppet smoking crack?

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about?

puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose
info: Retrieving plugin
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not
retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins
info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com
info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830''
err: /Stage[main]/Xxx::Nagios::Server/File[/var/lib/nagios3]: Failed
to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': Cannot
manage
files of type fifo
notice: Finished catalog run in 3.63 seconds

Secondly, I think puppet is smoking crack. Why is it telling me that
it can''t manage files of type fifo when that is not what the manifest
has? The manifest has:

file {
        ''/var/lib/nagios3/rw'':
            owner => ''nagios'',
            group => ''www-data'',
            mode  => ''0750'';
}

The fifo file is IN the rw directory....

Doug.

Worth looking into your pluginsync config here.

Do you have a declaration /var/lib/nagios3? What does that say?

I have on the client ''pluginsync = true'' in the [main]
section.

Nope. The manifest only has:

file {
    ''/var/lib/nagios3/rw'':
            owner => ''nagios'',
            group => ''www-data'',
            mode  => ''0750'';
}

More detailed error messages for now.

Did this fail because of a connection issue, because you typo''ed
something, because something in your manifest doesn''t exist on the
puppetmaster, etc. etc.

You do, is it working? Apparently not, judging from this error message. Using
--debug might assist here as well. Also see what your puppetmaster has to say.
Debug logging there might help too.

As a random guess I''d say your missing plugin configuration and the
debug output together might be a useful path to pursue.

Perhaps an errant File { recurse => true } or similar somewhere above in
this scope (meaning: in this class or any classes that directly or
indirectly include it)?

Do you have any plugins on your server side? If not you are hitting a bug
that will be fixed in 3.0.0 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2244
