Puppet users - Jan 2013 - Custom function and SERVER: wrong argument type Class (expected Module)

I have created a custom function that I''m trying to use in my manifest.
When  I use the function I get the following error message on my client.


Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
wrong argument type Class (expected Module) at 
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:18 on node fubar

Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run


I have tested my function on server with a simple manifest locally and the 
function works properly.  The function I’ve created was to pad the contents 
of a variable with tabs so when the variable is used in a configuration it 
will have the proper alignments for readability.  Below is my function, 
I’ve removed parameter checking to simplify the code for troubleshooting. 


module Puppet::Parser::Functions

  newfunction(:talign, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-EOS

Pads a string with tabs for alignment purposes.


*Examples:*


    taligh(‘abcd’,24,8)


Will return:


    abcd\t\t

    EOS

  ) do |arguments|


    value = arguments[0]

    space = arguments[1]

    if arguments.size == 2

      tabsize = 8

    else

      tabsize = arguments[2]

    end


    size = space.to_i - value.length

    if size <= 0

      result = value + "\t"

    else

      count = size / tabsize.to_i

      while count > 0 do

        value = value + "\t"

        count = count - 1

      end

      result = value

    end


    return result

  end

end


Here is the code that I’ve added to my manifest for testing. 


$temp = talign(''abc'',24,8)

notify{"${temp}":}


Thanks,

Michael

Where did you put your function, in what filepath? And did you run your 
agent with --pluginsync option?
