puppetlabs_spec_helper error on environments: undefined method `invalidate_refreshes='

[René Weber]

Hi there,

I'm am currently trying to get my puppet running on Version 3.1.1 together with puppetlabs spec helper.

I managed to set up all my global modules correctly, including fixtures and specs but I can not manage to implement specs in my environment.

Everytime I run 'rake spec' in my environments' module, I receive a cryptical error like

 Puppet::Error:

       Could not autoload puppet/type/service: undefined method `invalidate_refreshes=' for #<Puppet::Parameter::Value:0x7f622a167298> on node xy

The weird thing is, if I copy a module where 'rake spec' is succeeding from '/etc/puppet/modules/' to my environment, I get the same result.

My configuration look like this:

/etc/puppet/environments/first/modules/vpn/Rakfile

require 'rubygems'

require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/rake_tasks'

/etc/puppet/environments/first/modules/vpn/manifest/tunnel.pp

class vpn::tunnel {

   somestuff

}

/etc/puppet/environments/first/modules/vpn/spec/spec_helper.rb

require 'puppetlabs_spec_helper/module_spec_helper'

And my specfile does currently only define some facts...

Any Ideas?? I am really running out of ideas.

I am getting the same exact error. My puppet version is 3.2.1. The weird thing is that, my other nodes running on different version of puppet did not experience this error. This is a new node running on VMWare  Centos system. Anyone has any idea?
