puppet cannot find class.

[dE]

Hi.

I've made a class in the $basemodulepath location --

puppet config print  | grep basemodulepath
basemodulepath = /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules

ls -R /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/all_class/
/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/all_class/:
manifests

/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/all_class/manifests:
dep.pp  first_class.pp

Contents of first_class.pp --

class first_class {
        file { '/tmp/fclass.txt':
                ensure => present,
                owner => de,
                group => de,
        }
        file { '/tmp/procs':
                ensure => directory,
                source => ['puppet:///modules/filesmmodule/proc_files/'],
                owner => de,
                group => root,
                mode => '700',
                recurse => true
        }
        file {'/tmp/procs/cpuinfo':
                ensure => present,
                owner => de,
                group => de,
        }
        require Class["dep"]
}

Contents of dep.pp ---

class dep {
        file { '/tmp/dep_file':  
                ensure => present,
                owner => de
        }
}

When I call the class from the main manifest --

Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Could not find declared class first_class at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/default.pp:1:1 on node desktopminer

It does not help if I define the class in $modulepath

Thanks for any help.

This means you have a module with name all_class.

And there are two classes inside the module.

The class is within the module namespace.
rename it to
class all_class::first_class {

Same here:
rename to
class all_class::dep {

I suppose you have something like include first_class in your manifest.
Puppet searches for
$basemodulepath/first_class/manifests/init.pp

I've never used a module with out a init.pp, so cannot tell you if that's the issue, I think it's not.
But normally this what I would do:

class all_class::first_class { .... } and  class all_class::dep { .... }



Probably worth giving a try.
On a general note, you should have all the owner, group values within the single-quote. But that's not to actual issue though.

Now I see the bigger picture. Looks like this documentation is wrong.

Thanks for the help everyone!
