Could not find default node or by name with 'vm7012.muc.baag, if not defined in manifests/node.pp

[Andreas Dvorak]

Dear all

if I do not list a server in the directory manifests e.g. in nodes.pp the agent says:
puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find default node or by name with 'vm7012.muc.baag, vm7012.muc, vm7012' on node vm7012.muc.baag
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I know that is should work, because I have got it on an other Puppet Master server.
How can to solve that? It should be ignored that the server is not listed.

cat site.pp
if versioncmp($::puppetversion, '3.6.0') >= 0 {
  Package {
    allow_virtual => true,
  }
}
hiera_include('classes')

cat hiera/common.yaml
classes:
  - profiles::base

Puppet 3.7.5

Per https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3.7/reference/lang_node_definitions.html

"If site.pp contains at least one node definition, it must have one
for every node"

if you want the default behavior to be to just pull in classes from
hiera, then I would recommend wrapping your hiera_include in the
default node definition:

node default {
hiera_include('classes')
