similar to: Puppet 2.6 - Custom functions - environments issue

still pretty new to Ruby, please bare with me :) Say I have a module with a custom type, structured like so: [modules]/mymodule/manifests/init.pp [modules]/mymodule/lib/puppet/provider/mytype/foo.rb [modules]/mymodule/lib/puppet/type/mytype.rb In foo.rb, I''d like to call some custom ruby functions in a module and/ or class. These are generic functions that may be used in other modules,

So I''m trying to get multiple environments to work with puppet 0.25.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and no matter what I do, puppet just completely ignores any environment setting. There''s really next to no information in terms of configuration on the multiple environments documentation page (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments) other than saying that the

I am trying to get a custom fact to sync. The fact is in a module. It will sync if I run puppet with "--pluginsync" but not otherwise. I have "pluginsync=true" in my puppet.conf. Shouldn''t the command line option and puppet.conf option have the same results? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hello, I would like to load an Hash in my init.rb plugin file ... than I would like to use this hash in my module ... in my init.rb: @anHash = load From file... in mymodule: module Amodule def myFunction #@anHash .... end end How can I access to my hash in my plugin module function ? thanks for this dummy question ;-) Arnaud

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

All- I''m using puppet 2.7.14. I''ve reviewed http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html but it doesn''t seem to cover what I''m attempting. Consider a module layout like this: $ tree mymodule mymodule |-- Modulefile |-- README |-- manifests | |-- init.pp | |-- special_type | | `-- prereqs.pp | `-- special_type.pp

My issue may be related to this bug: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13858 "Custom types in environments require loading into master''s libdir" However, now I''m not so sure, This was working previously with a given client. However, after trying on a fresh client, it''s failing with: err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a

If I externalise my Puppet module config to a directory outside of Puppet using the modulepath / manifestdir settings: [main] pluginsync=true modulepath=/home/ec2-user/projects/qmg-puppet/etc/puppet/modules manifestdir=/home/ec2-user/projects/qmg-puppet/etc/puppet/ manifests the agents log the following error: "Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s)

Hey folks, I am using puppet for some OpenStack deployments and on a new node things look pretty good right until after the successful reception of a cert from the puppet master. I get this error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: $concat_basedir not defined. Try running again with pluginsync enabled at

So, this has always puzzled me a bit. By convention, init.pp contains one class, named the same as the module. However, what is the convention when the module may have multiple external access points? Say you have a module called ''syslog'' which provides both a client and a server class. I typically have used syslog::server and syslog::client. I''ve ended up using this

I''ve installed the puppet labs lvm module. After fixing the missing "}" at line 20 in init.pp (really?!?!), I''m getting this:'' err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type physical_volume at /truth/sauce/env/prod/modules/role/manifests/common.pp:43

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

Hi, I have a fresh CentOS 5.8 Vagrant VM that I''m using to emulate a customer''s server. During the first Puppet run, it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds to sync the Puppet Labs stdlib module. On a similar Ubuntu 12.04.1 Vagrant VM, Puppet starts up, and almost instantly goes from plugin sync to facter load. Is this load time for stdlib on a RHEL variant normal?

Hi group, im updating some modules of puppet, and i found this issue or error, that i cannot get resolved it. My puppetmaster is 2.7.1 and client 2.7.18. I used other modulo to prover apt configurations but i think this is more completed. I know that the error is something missing or my class is not present or something like that, the dependencies of the modulo are installed, stdlib and i

Good Evening! I''m having issues with the order in which items are ran inside of a service class, it''s attempting to run before the provider is present (the provider is provided by the glassfish package). It looks for the glassfish provider prior to inheriting the repository or the package list. http://snipt.org/woomg I have included a snipt of the code, does anyone have an

I want to be able to have Puppet determine which file to use as the source of a template() call in a manner similar to the source parameter. Basically, I want to have a file resource that will use the most appropriate file for a template. While I can do: file { "file.conf" : source => [ "puppet:///module/file.conf.${hostname}",

I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet providers to the puppet clients? I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to implement a task that the master has given it. Am I way off here?

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about? puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830'' err:

Hi, I''m using Puppet 3.2.1 and heavily relying on hiera data bindings. I have the following situation: class software ( $my_content = undef, ) { file { ''/path/to/file'': content => $software::my_content, } } in hieradata/software.yaml (hiera.yaml seems ok): software::my_content: template(''mymodule/myfile.erb'') With this configuration I

So we run puppetd as a long running ruby process on the hosts. When we update a fact that gets auto sync''d to the host it seems when puppetd wakes up and starts its catalog run it doesn''t re-sync the facts. It you run it standalone it will or if you restart the service then it will do the right thing. Do other people see this? Or have you all gone to running out of cron?
