Puppet 2.6.18 Automodule loading -> Wrong number of Arguments (1 for 2)

[Michel Vocks]

Dear Puppet-Users,

I'm currently stucking at a wired error message.

Below I've posted all important output.

When I run this configuration on the same machine or on an client I geht the following error:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2) at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:2

[code]

puppet@de-dussmon2:/etc/puppet/manifests> puppet --version

2.6.18

[/code]

[code]

puppet@de-dussmon2:/etc/puppet/manifests> cat site.pp

node default {

  include test

}

[/code]

[code]

puppet@de-dussmon2:/etc/puppet/manifests/modules/test/manifests> cat init.pp

class test{

    case $::operatingsystem {

        'SLES': {

            $path_file = "/etc/puppet/testfile"

        }

        'windows': {

            $path_file = "C:/testfile.txt"

        }

    }

    file {'testfile':

        path    => $path_file,

        ensure  => file,

        content => $operatingsystem,

    }

}

[/code]

[code]

puppet@de-dussmon2:/etc/puppet/manifests/modules/test/manifests> puppet master --configprint modulpath

/etc/puppet/manifests/modules

[/code]

I've never seen that one, and I don't see anything in your manifests to explain it.  I wonder whether you have a custom function named 'test', or whether there is an undocumented built-in one by that name.  If so, then changing the name of your class should fix the problem.

Since you are just starting with Puppet, though, I would strongly recommend, that you work with a supported version.  You probably want the latest, version 3.4.3.  If for some reason you need a version in the Puppet 2 series, then go with 2.7.25.  (Those are the latest open-source versions; PE has its own version numbering.)  Since you appear to have a mind for managing Windows clients, you should be advised that Puppet 3's Windows support is far superior to Puppet 2's
