Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Strange "Could not evaluate" error on a File resource

I am in the process of upgrading a Tomcat module to support version 7. As 
such I copied one of the template files and made the slightest change to 
the filename, from etc-initd-tomcat6 to etc-initd-tomcat7. The permissions 
and ownership on the files are identical however when invoking Puppet it 
throws the following error.

err: /File[/etc/init.d/tomcat_sso01]: Could not evaluate: Could not 
retrieve information from environment dev source(s) 
puppet:///modules/tomcat/etc-initd-tomcat7

I validated that it isn''t the contents of the file as I''ve
tried changing
the file to only include simple text with no difference.  

The File code is: 

   file { "/etc/init.d/tomcat_sso01":
      source => "puppet:///modules/tomcat/etc-initd-tomcat7",
      mode   => 755,
      owner  => root,
      group  => root,
      ensure => present
   }

If I change the 7 to a 6 in the source line everything works fine. As you 
can see, the files and permissions are the same.

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  2848 Nov 15 18:07 etc-sysconfig-tomcat6.erb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  2848 Nov 15 18:07 etc-sysconfig-tomcat7.erb


I''m running Puppet 2.6.17.

I''ve tried running the server in debug mode but no errors are reported
on
that side. When running the agent in debug mode it doesn''t show
anything
indicative of a problem:

debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using 
pson
err: /File[/etc/init.d/tomcat_sso01]: Could not evaluate: Could not 
retrieve information from environment dev source(s) 
puppet:///modules/tomcat/etc-initd-tomcat7 at 
/mnt/nas01/puppetmaster/src/lib/dev/tomcat/manifests/defines/app_builder.pp:225
debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using 
pson



I''ve been using Puppet for 3 years and have never seen anything like
this.
Any thoughts?

Thanks, 

John

Solved the issue. It was simply that I was referencing source instead of 
template in the File resource. The pre-existing code had scripts in both 
the files and templates directories, which I didn''t realize. I copied
the
file in the templates directory instead of files.  Such a rookie mistake...
