Re: [Puppet Users] Invalid resource type anchor.

[Jeff McCune]

That's a strange issue. I wonder if it's caused by the class name
containing a hyphen?

Does this happen to be the puppetlabs-apt module?

Yes, it does. This occurs when change apt module for the puppetlabs-apt. Maybe is a issue with environments, im trying to figure out what is happening, and like the log said the module stdlib which provide the anchor type, is not being recognize.

I had the same problem, caused by the puppetlabs-stdlib Ruby libraries not being available to the puppet master when it was parsing and compiling the manifests. It's related to bug http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13858 as far as I can tell. The solution was to run puppet agent on the master itself, with pluginsync enabled, such that the required plugins from the puppetlabs-stdlib module get "synced" onto the master.

Thanks Hugh, you are right!! Now it works.

I had to install the puppet stdlib module with:

puppet module install puppetlabs/stdlib


and that fixed the issue.  It wasn't available in my /etc/puppet/modules.  I'm not sure if its *supposed* to be installed by default. I'm running puppet 3.x and had upgraded from 2.7.

I noticed that puppet modules installs modules in /etc/puppet/modules, which is different than where I keep my modules. I added /etc/puppet/modules to the modulepath in puppet.conf, fixed the problem

No, it is not supposed to be installed by default.  It is not part of the core product.

I also believe that stdlib needs to be in the same directory of the referenced (or specified) module path.  In other words, if moduleA is in /etc/pupppet/modules, then stdlib needs to be in the same parent directory as moduleA.  Consequently, if moduleB is in /var/temp/puppet/modules, std needs to be in that dir (having std lib in /etc/puppet/modules wouldn't be sufficient).
