Getting empty catalogs after upgrading (3.8.5 -> 5.4.0)

[Miguel Ángel Ibáñez Mompeán]

Hello,

I'm getting empty catalogs after upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS (so did my puppetserver, 3.8.5 -> 5.4.0 ). My puppet agent on my testing machine is also v 5.4.0.

My client machine for testing (c06x19) reveives the hostname.json catalog file, but it seems to be empty:

# cat /var/cache/puppet/client_data/catalog/c06x19.iescierva.net.json
{"tags":["settings"],"name":"c06x19.iescierva.net","version":1554375515,"code_id":null,"catalog_uuid":"33c3535c-3fec-4d72-a656-7f41ec2b9229","catalog_format":1,"environment":"production","resources":[{"type":"Stage","title":"main","tags":["stage"],"exported":false},{"type":"Class","title":"Settings","tags":["class","settings"],"exported":false},{"type":"Class","title":"Main","tags":["class"],"exported":false,"parameters":{"name":"main"}}],"edges":[{"source":"Stage[main]","target":"Class[Settings]"},{"source":"Stage[main]","target":"Class[Main]"}],"classes":["settings"]}

Client syslog shows:

Apr  4 12:58:50 c06x19 puppet-agent[4916]: Reopening log files
Apr  4 12:58:50 c06x19 puppet-agent[4916]: Starting Puppet client version 5.4.0
Apr  4 12:58:50 c06x19 systemd[1]: Started Puppet agent.
Apr  4 12:58:51 c06x19 puppet-agent[4920]: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds

(on previous version, it usually took seconds, even minutes, to have the work done)

puppet parser also seems to be ok (all I've got is a standalone site.pp file):

puppet parser validate /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

(empty output, no errors or warnings)

My site.pp file includes lots of class definitions and finally about 20 node definitions, like these:

node
  /^c05x\d\d\.iescierva\.net$/
  {
    include computer::ws::student::c05
    include os::mint::v19_1
  }

node
  'c06x19.iescierva.net'
  {
    include computer::ws::student::c06
    include os::mint::v19_1
    include docker
  }

Any suggestion? What am I missing here?

Any help or direction will be strongly appreciated.

M.A.

Puppet has switched location for Puppet code from /etc/puppet to /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production

Class definitions in site.pp?
You seem to follow very old best practice.
Have you digged into Puppet control repository and roles and profiles?

I've moved my configuration as you suggested, and errors are starting to populate my log, which is good!, because I wasn't getting error messages at all.

I'm aware that my setup is monolithic and shoud be splitting my class hierarchy into several files, but that would make my admin much more complicated, provided I'm managing my setup via several scripts, not by direct editing, so I intend to stay this way as long as I can.

Than you for putting me on the right track!! I didn't notice that setup dir had changed.
