Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Passing an entire directory from the puppet master.

Can someone help, im trying to send an entire directory with its contents 
to the puppet agent. Here is the init.pp file:


class testing {

file { "C:/test/":


ensure => directory,
owner => ''Administrator'',
group => ''Administrators'',
mode => ''0755'',
}

 

file { "C:/test/testscript":


ensure => directory,
owner => ''Administrator'',
group => ''Administrators'',
mode => ''0755'',
source => "puppet:///modules/testing/files",
recurse => true,


}
}


When running the agent on the puppet it gives this error:

error: /stage[main]Testing/File/[testscript]: Could not evalate: Could not 
retrieve information from environment production source 
puppet:///modules/testing/files at 
/etc/puppet/modules/testing/manifests/init.pp:17
I can serve single files but not a directory. 
Many thanks :)

I hope there are not a lot of files in that directory because I believe you have
to manage each one.
I could be mistaken, but I do not know of a way to do it.
There may be a way to shortcut the operation, but I believe you need a resource
declared for every file and directory you want to manage.

Your DSL looks ok to me on first glance.  I think the error message is 
telling you that <modulepath>/testing/files/files (doubled
"/files"
intentional) does not exist on your master, or is not readable by the 
master.  Do you perhaps mean to use

  source => ''puppet:///modules/testing/testscript''

, which would try to sync a directory
<modulepath>/testing/files/testscript
from your master to your clients?  With

  recurse => true

, as you specify, the directory''s contents should be synced as well. 
The
name of the source directory on the master does not need to match the name 
of the target directory on the client, but you do need to give it.
