puppet module generate skeleton not working on PE?

[Stephen Wallace]

Hi

I'm wondering if anybody has successfully managed to get any `puppet module generate` templates (e.g. https://github.com/garethr/puppet-module-skeleton) working on a Puppet Enterprise box?

I've tried both of the github skeleton modules on two different versions of PE, but not joy.

Seems straight forward enough, git clone the module, cd into the module directory, run the git command as per instructions, then run puppet module generate from the same dir.

[root@master puppet-module-skeleton]# find skeleton -type f | git checkout-index --stdin --force --prefix="$HOME/.puppet/var/puppet-module/" --

[root@master puppet-module-skeleton]# puppet module generate my-module

Notice: Generating module at /home/training/puppet-module-skeleton/my-module

my-module

my-module/Modulefile

my-module/README

my-module/manifests

my-module/manifests/init.pp

my-module/spec

my-module/spec/spec_helper.rb

my-module/tests

my-module/tests/init.pp

Under manifests dir above, I only see the regular init.pp. The skeleton templates contain params.pp, config.pp and service.pp.

Maybe it's a Puppet Opensource only thing? Maybe someone knows the code to hack to make it work in the PE framework?

Hi,

I am not sure on the underlying reasons but this doesnt work under the root account. I ran into the same issue when I was playing with it on a dev box.

Peter,

When I ran the puppet module generate as non-root....it worked like a charm! Maybe some of the other talented people on this forum may have a clue as to why.

Thanks again.

Hi,

IMO, I think it is a good thing not to develop your modules under root account.

So for me this is more a feature than a problem.
