Using modules from PuppetForge

[Kyle Hall]

Hello All,
New puppet user here. I've been able to create and use my own puppet
modules, but I'm at a loss on how to use modules from PuppetForge,
which seem quite a bit more advanced. For example, I've installed the
camptocamp/apt module via the command 'puppet-module install
camptocamp/apt' into /etc/puppet/modules. I then tried to add the
following code to one of my manifests:

apt::sources_list {"google-chrome":
ensure => present,
content => "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/
stable main",
}

apt::key {"A040830F7FAC5991":
source =>
"https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub"
}

package { 'google-chrome-stable' :
ensure => latest,
require => File['google-chrome-apt-repository'],
}

When I run the agent, I get an error stating that apt::sources_list is
an invalid resource type. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've spent
the last couple hours searching for an answer, and have yet to find
anything that spells it out.

Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,

You're not doing anything wrong, the utility is.

The currently released version of the puppet-module tool has a bug
where the module installed doesn't itself follow Puppet's autoloader
conventions.

You'll have /etc/puppet/modules/camptocamp-apt, but Puppet's
autoloader is expecting the module to live at /etc/puppet/modules/apt

You can simply move the module into the correct place.

I've also just fixed this bug a couple of days ago and it will "do the
right thing" in the next release.

Excellent. I was able to figure that out eventually. Thanks for the reply!
