puppet-3.4.3-1.el6.noarch error:Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source

[BravePig2013]

Hi All, I am newbie to puppet. when I try to source file from the puppet master, I met the following problem that almost make me crazy. I have tried many methods, but still not solved. Can someone help me to point the mistake out? thanks in advance.

======puppet master====

site.pp:

node 'client.puppet.com' {

#1. file resource

file {

  '/tmp/puppet_test.txt':

  source => "puppet:///modules/test/puppet_test.txt"; 

  }

} 

tree of modules:

[root@master puppet]# tree

.

|-- auth.conf

|-- autosign.conf

|-- fileserver.conf

|-- manifests

|   |-- site.pp

|   |-- site.pp.linux

|   `-- site.pp.windows

|-- modules

|   `-- test

|       `-- files

|           `-- puppet_test.txt

======puppet client=====

[root@client tmp]# puppet agent --test

Notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run

Perhaps it is  the ;

It should be nothing being the last parameter or a ,

No, the semicolon is allowed as a separator between two resource declarations in the same block, or, for convenience, after the end of the last:

file {
  '/tmp/tst': ensure => 'directory';
  '/tmp/tst/1': ensure => 'present';
}

In any case, if it were a problem with DSL syntax then the catalog would fail to compile.  That's not the OP's case -- his error occurs during catalog application.

I think it's more likely that the file modules/test/files/puppet_test.txt is not readable by the master.  For instance, it may be owned by root:root and have mode 0640, with the master running as user puppet:puppet.  Or any of the directories in the path to that file might be unreadable / untraversible by the Puppet user.
