Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) for one module, for other is ok

[Juan Sierra Pons]

Hi,

I have been fighting this issue without success for several days. I am
sure some of you have dealt with something similar:

I have 2 manifest one for vim which works like a charm :

class vim {
if $operatingsystem == "Debian" {
package {"vim":
ensure => present,
}
package {'vim-puppet':
ensure => present,
require => Package["vim"],
}
}
file { "/etc/vim/vimrc":
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 0644,
source =>"puppet://$puppetserver/modules/vim/etc/vim/vimrc",
require => Package["vim"],
}
}

The source file is downloaded ok
Aug 6 20:49:55 virtualito puppet-agent[26967]:
(/Stage[main]/Vim/File[/etc/vim/vimrc]/ensure) defined content as
'{md5}b98e8ce84974ad114ec0e12b8b97fa1f'

BUT I have a similar manifest for ntp:

class ntp {
if $is_virtual == 'false' {
package { 'ntp':
ensure => present,
}
service { 'ntp':
ensure => 'running',
enable => 'true',
hasrestart => 'true',
require => Package['ntp']
}
file { "/etc/ntpd.conf":
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 0644,
require => Package["ntp"],
source =>
"puppet://$puppetserver/modules/ntp/files/etc/ntp.conf",
}
}
if $is_virtual == 'true' {
package { 'ntp':
ensure => purged,
}
}
}

In this case the source file is not downloaded and the logs show the
following output:

(/Stage[main]/Ntp/File[/etc/ntpd.conf]) Could not evaluate: Could not
retrieve information from environment production source(s)
puppet:///modules/ntp/files/etc/ntp.conf at
/etc/puppet/modules/ntp/manifests/init.pp:19

I have already checked that puppet user can get to the proper file so
is not a issue of FS permission.

Any idea?

Best regards

Your indenting is a little strange, but I would start by using
notice/notify/fail or whatever you prefer to determine what is_virtual
actually is set to.

There was a thread about quoting and true/false a few months ago, search
the archives for that. I can't remember if the style guide was updated
with recommendations regarding quoting true/false, but that would also
be a place to look.

Try using yes/no (as strings) and checking for that in your class.

You may also want to run puppet-lint on your manifests, it's not perfect
but it will help catch a number of issues.

Your source path should be "puppet://$puppetserver/modules/ntp/etc/ntp.conf". Leave out the 'files' part.

Also I highly recommend the file server docs that describe the puppet
URL syntax in more detail[1]. For example, the $puppetserver part is
not necessary.

Thank you all for point me in the right direction:

- The problem was the "file" part include in the path. No it works OK
I didn't pay enough attention to it

- http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/file_serving.html explains
perfectly how it works

- puppet-lint is an excellent tool too

Best regards

I have the same issue, but having it in and pointed to 'puppet://$puppetserve/modules/ntp/etc/ntp.conf' did not fix it- still get same error, not even 'puppet://$::server/modules/ntp/etc/ntp.conf,'

[Juan Sierra Pons]

Hi

I think you have missed a r in the $puppetserver variable name
puppet://$puppetserve/modules/ntp/etc/ntp.conf
^
