Hi Guys! I played with this a bit and perused the Puppet3 docs, and tried a few different ways of calling the module with no joy before giving in and posting. I''m kind of new to all this so bear with me. *Goal of module* Singular module to hold both a mysql (client) and mysql-server class. Module default would be ''mysql'', or for mysql-servers we''ll call

...from left operand of ''in'' expression is not a string at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/monitoring.pp:7 on node puppet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This snippet of code I got from the puppet style-guide: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html#class-inheritance -> see the bluetooth class example Any ideas? What am I missing? Btw. I''m running a self-build version of puppet 2.6.4 without additional patches ... Many thanks Jan -- | Jan Dennis Bungart () ascii ribbon campaign...

...that Tim Sharpe from GitHub wrote a Puppet linting tool: $ gem install puppet-lint $ puppet-lint mymanifest.pp Source: https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-lint The linting tool checks Puppet code for "best practice" based on the Puppet Labs Style Guide: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html A lot of us have been using puppet-lint (and puppet parser validate) to ensure our code is synoptically correct and as "best practice" as possible. We''re also aware that there are some strange and odd things in the Puppet language and whilst we can''t fix all them...

Specifically, I''m trying to put together a module. I believe I have the correct module structure: $ find . ./test.pp ./graphite ./graphite/manifests ./graphite/manifests/init.pp ./graphite/files

I have a module located at /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/ruby. I n this I have a manifests folder with two .pp files - init.pp and gemInstall.pp. In one of my node def files I have: include ruby ruby::gemInstall { ''someGem-version.gem'': path => ''/path/to/agent/local/gem/repo'', } ruby::gemInstall is a define, and it has some logic to get around

Do explicit class dependencies work? This simple example fails with: Could not find resource ''Class[Config]'' for relationship on ''Class[Uses_config]'' class config { } class uses_config { Class[''config''] -> Class[''uses_config''] } include uses_config Am I doing something?

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()
