PuppetLabs Netscaler Module

[Matthew Ceroni]

I am attempting to use the puppetlabs netscaler module to manage, well a Citrix Netscaler :)

I setup my /etc/puppet/device.conf on the puppet agent that will act as the proxy:

[usc1lb01]

  type netscaler

  url https://nsroot:XXX...@10.191.2.8/nitro/v1

As a simple test I set my manifest as follows: 

node 'usc1lb01' {

        netscaler_server [ 'server1':

                ensure => present,

                address => '1.10.1.1',

        }

}

I then ran puppet device -v --user=root and received the following error:

Info: starting applying configuration to usc1lb01 at https://10.191.2.8:443/nitro/v1

Error: Could not run: /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/util/network_device/transport/netscaler.rb:12: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')'

                              ^

      builder.request :retry, {

                       ^

/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/util/network_device/transport/netscaler.rb:127: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end

Anyone have success with this module?

The module is apparently using ruby >=1.9 hash syntax which is not supported by 1.8 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-netscaler/blob/master/lib/puppet/util/network_device/transport/netscaler.rb#L12

Whoops. You are welcome to send a patch and change all the `url: url` to `:url => url` etc, or just upgrade your ruby to a non-EOL'd version and it should work.

I upgraded to ruby 2 that is part of Redhat 7. Now upon running I get the following error

Can't autoload puppet/type/netscaler_server.

Thanks

[Hunter Haugen]

That error appears to still be the same thing (ruby barfing on the hash argument `parent: Puppet::Provider::Netscaler` . I made https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-netscaler/pull/157 to change all the 1.9 hashes to normal hashes, so you can give that a go and see if it works.

Hi:

Thanks for making that change. I will test it out. 

However with the error I posted today it comes and goes. I will run it one time, and it works. Run it again and it fails with the autoload error. 

[Matthew Ceroni]

I tested out your changes. They seem to fix some of the issues but still running into others. Sorry I am not that strong of a Ruby coder. However all the rest.rb files error with the following:

Creating the instances of the type fails. I can't see anything from a syntax point of view that jumps out at me.

The opening brace( SQUARE ) and closing brace ( CURLY ) does not match.
