Issues creating a customer type/provider

[Simon Weald]

Hi guys

I'm extending our in-house package management system to include management of apt's GPG keys (we're a Debian shop). Ruby isn't my forte, but I've cooked up what I think is a decent working type and provider which I can extend further if the need arises. Currently during a run I'm getting an error 400 stating that one of my parameters isn't valid.

I've provided the relevant code here: https://gist.github.com/analbeard/8560005282856b9302145934730a77a0

and the run output I'm receiving is:

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts

Info: Retrieving plugin

Info: Loading facts

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter keyid on Apt_key[9023A836357AF18193C2F0F8013F8A39FBC95654] at /etc/puppet/environments/development/modules/pkg_mgmnt/manifests/aptkey.pp:10 on node test.test.com

Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run


Can anyone shed any light as to why Puppet doesn't like the keyid parameter?

Hi Simon,

Your puppet code is making use of the aptkey type.
The type which you created has the name repokey.
Puppet::Type.newtype(:repokey)

You should use the type repokey in you manifest.

Hi Martin

Thanks for pointing that out; rookie mistake! I spotted a few other issues which I've now tidied up and I'm happy to say that it now works perfectly.

Thanks for your help!
