New to Puppet, but long term Linux user (CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian - on Raspberry Pi).  Installed Puppet, installed Razor module but /etc/puppet/modules/razer/test directory missing?  Can not execute...

# puppet apply /etc/puppet/modules/razor/tests/init.pp --verbose

# find /opt | grep razor

Does not appear razor is installing correctly?  Tried Ubuntu based variant (3.4.3) and CentOS variant (3.5.1), both cases razor does not seem to install right?  Any help appreciated.

Hi,

well the file *does* not exist. That should have made you suspicious ;-)
What gave you the idea that this was a way of installing the software
using the module?

A cursory glance at the repo for the module reveals that there is a
different manifest file that you can apply, though:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-razor/blob/master/examples/install-with-apply.pp

HTH,
Felix

Hi,

have a look at https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/razor - that page talks about the entire installation process beyond what just the module does.

Felix,

Actually looking at that page and other examples via Google is what suggested the 'test' directory should exist.  There seems to be a quite a few examples of how to install razor that all point to the same step, that does not appear to be correct.

David,

I don't see any example of how to add the razor class in the instructions.  The recommended documentation seems to assume you have extensive experience with puppet?  What does the following line mean?  "Then, on your Puppet master, add razor class to target node -- or just use puppet apply as normal:" ?? This is not well explained.  When I try invoking install-with-apply.pp I get the following...

# puppet apply /etc/puppet/modules/razor/examples/install-with-apply.pp --verbose

Since I am running Ubuntu 14.04?  Looks like the manifests class to validate Linux distrubution is not yet updated?  See the following...

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-razor/blob/master/manifests/libarchive.pp

class razor::libarchive {
  $libarchive_package = $operatingsystem ? {
    "Ubuntu" => $operatingsystemrelease ? {
      /^12/   => 'libarchive12',
      /^13/   => 'libarchive13',
      default => undef
    },
    "Debian" => $operatingsystemmajrelease ? {
      '6'     => 'libarchive1',
      '7'     => 'libarchive12',
      default => 'libarchive13'
    },
    # We need the unversioned .so, which comes from the dev package on these
    # platforms; without that FFI fails to load the library.  This naturally
    # depends on the regular library package in yum.
    "Fedora" => 'libarchive-devel',
    "RedHat" => 'libarchive-devel',
    "CentOS" => 'libarchive-devel',
    default  => undef
  }

  if ! $libarchive_package {
    fail("unable to autodetect libarchive package name for your platform")
  }

  package { $libarchive_package: ensure => latest }
}

And... the following module has not been updated for Ubuntu 'Trusty' (i.e.) 14.04 as well...

/etc/puppet/modules/java/manifests/params.pp

I see. Those are likely outdated then.

Yes, absolutely (btw, easy syntax highlighting is available like this -
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-razor/blob/master/manifests/libarchive.pp#L3-7
:-)

So you can either wait until upstream fixes their module (boring, may
also not happen ;-) or you try your hand at fixing it and open a Pull
Request. Those are most appreciated.

Cheers,
Felix
