What is wrong with this class?

[Stuart Cracraft]

 

somefile.pp

 

class mumble {

}

 

class mumble::testcontents inherits mumble {

  file { "/tmp/testfile":

     path => "/tmp/testfile,

     ensure => present,

    mode => 0640,

    content => "I am a test file.",

 

 

 

puppet parser validate passed it.

 

puppet apply says it is run

 

yet no /tmp/testfile appears

 

the puppet master is running and this is being done on the puppet master.

the agent on the puppet master is running.

There's no call to invoke your class, and there's no closing bracket on the testcontents class.  I think you only need to put the closing bracket, and then outside of the class invoke it. You also don't need inheritance.  So like

somefile.pp:

class { 'mumble::testcontents': } # this is your invocation

class mumble {}

…etc

Other than the problems Jo pointed out, it is a bit inconsistent to combine "ensure => present" with any specified 'content'.  If you intend for the target to be a regular file, then you should "ensure => 'file'", and if you don't care whether it's a regular file then it doesn't make sense to specify content.

This is all working now so it's in good shape. Able to get it up yesterday.

 

Good stuff!
