Could not autoload puppet/provider/gauth_credential/machineaccount: cannot load such file -- googleauth

[kumar.a...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have followed Nelson's blog https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/08/introducing-Puppet-support-for-Google-Cloud-Platform24.html

Made sure all the relevant modules and gems are installed but I'm still getting the following error.

Google search didn't get much hope. Was hoping if somebody could help me.

kumar_allamraju@puppetserver:~$ puppet apply gcp.pp 

Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/gauth_credential/machineaccount: cannot load such file -- googleauth

Error: Could not autoload puppet/type/gauth_credential: Could not autoload puppet/provider/gauth_credential/machine

account: cannot load such file -- googleauth

Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Could not autoload puppet/type/gauth_credenti

al: Could not autoload puppet/provider/gauth_credential/machineaccount: cannot load such file -- googleauth (file: 

/home/kumar_allamraju/gcp.pp, line: 1, column: 1) on node puppetserver.c.kumara-project.internal

Here is my puppet file

===========================================================

gauth_credential { 'mycred':

  provider => serviceaccount,

  path     => '/home/kumar_allamraju/puppet-gcp.json',

  scopes   => ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'],

}

gcontainer_cluster { 'myapp-netes':

  ensure             => present,

  initial_node_count => 2,

  node_config        => {

    machine_type => 'n1-standard-1', # we want a 4-core machine for our cluster

    disk_size_gb => 10,             # ... and a lot of disk space

  },

  zone               => 'us-west1-a',

  project            => 'google.com:kumara-project',

  credential         => 'mycred',

}

===========================================================

I do have a service account created - puppe...@kumara-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com to run puppet modules on GCP.

Here is the output of

You were right. I don't get this error if I do puppet apply file.pp on "puppet agent".

Hi,

This means that you do not have the googleauth gem available in the context where the puppet agent runs. If you run /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem list do you see the googleauth gem there? If not can you try to install it and try again?

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install googleauth

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install google-api-client

Or you can use the respective 'puppet-gem' provider of the package{} resource, as explained here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/puppet-google-auth#installing-gems-for-puppet-agentmaster-only

Let me know how it goes.

Best regards,

Thanks Nelson.

I was right there on that page but looks like I missed installing the required gems.

Now I don't get any errors on the puppet server as well.. 

Thanks for your timely response..
