Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Newbie basic parameterized class usage question

I''d like to create and call a parameterized class from another class,
both in modules.  Here''s what I''m trying to do:

First, my module path:

ap00375@ROFTMA901A ~ $ sudo puppet apply --configprint modulepath
/modules:/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet:/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/linux

Here, you can see the two modules in question:

ap00375@ROFTMA901A ~ $ find /shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/ -name
''init.pp''
/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/tws_node/manifests/init.pp
/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/filesys_group_acl/manifests/init.pp

Here''s the contents of tws_node''s init.pp:

class tws_node {

  $userhome="/opt/IBM/TWS"

  filesys_group_acl { "ibmtm_acl_group_ibmtm" :
#    subscribe  => File["$userhome"],
    dir => $userhome,
    group => "ibmtm",
  }

}

And the contents of filesys_group_acl''s init.pp (the parameterized one)


class filesys_group_acl ($dir = '''', $group =
'''') {

  exec { "apply_acl_${title}":
    unless     => "/usr/bin/getfacl $dir 2>/dev/null | /bin/grep
group:$group: > /dev/null",
    command    => "/usr/bin/setfacl -R -m group:$group:rwx -m
default:group:$group:rwx $dir",
  }

}


And it''s complaining about the parameterized class, filesys_group_acl:

ap00375@ROFTMA901A ~ $ sudo puppet apply --noop --verbose  --execute
"include tws_node"
Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError:
Invalid resource type filesys_group_acl at
/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/tws_node/manifests/init.pp:10 on
node roftma901a.mayo.edu
Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError:
Invalid resource type filesys_group_acl at
/shares/nfs/unixnoarch/config/puppet/tws_node/manifests/init.pp:10 on
node roftma901a.mayo.edu


Any help, please?  What am I missing?

Thanks,

Not sure if you got help or not but that error is telling you that
filesys_group_acl is not a resource type.  This is because you created
it as a class and not a defined resource type.  Defined types use the
"define" keyword instead of the "class" keyword.

Hi Patrick,
   You calling the filesys_group_acl class in wrong way. Way you are using 
is for function/defined type.

Make following change in your manifests.

Here''s the contents of tws_node''s init.pp:
>
> class tws_node { 
>
>   $userhome="/opt/IBM/TWS" 
>
>  
 # filesys_group_acl { "ibmtm_acl_group_ibmtm" :

 
>  
>
Change calling of class method :     
* class { "filesys_group_acl":  *     

#    subscribe  => File["$userhome"], 
>     dir => $userhome, 
>     group => "ibmtm", 
>   } 
>
> } 
>

If you want to use filesys_group_acl  resource multiple times then change 
class to defined type.

I hope this will help.
