Could not find declared class transfer_contents

[Greg Heaphy]

Hi there, 

I am going through this tutorial: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/simplest_puppet_install_pattern

I am having trouble with Step two: Create a test manifests - specifially the application of tests manifests with the noop flag

my current configuration is as follows:

/home/redshelf/source/puppet

which contains: nothing

/etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/manifests/init.py

which contains:

    class transfer_contents {

        file { "/home/redshelf/source/puppet/rc.local":

                ensure => 'present',

                mode => '740',

                content => '#!/bin/sh

                            umount /dev/xvdb || :

                            mkswap /dev/xvdb

                            swapon /dev/xvdb

                            exit 0'

              }

    }

/etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/tests/init.py

which contains:

 class {'transfer_contents': }

I then run the command:

puppet apply --noop /etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/tests/init.pp

and I get:

Warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn

Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Could not find declared class transfer_contents at /etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/tests/init.pp:1 on node redshelf-dev

Wrapped exception:

Could not find declared class transfer_contents

Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Could not find declared class transfer_contents at /etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/tests/init.pp:1 on node redshelf-dev

Hi Greg,

This file, "/etc/puppet/modules/transfer_contents/manifests/init.py", has a file extension of ".py". Puppet uses a file extension of ".pp". Try changing that and see if it resolves your issue.
