Issue #7077 has been updated by Zach Leslie.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
This is likely a scoping issue. Since you mention the variable you are trying
to use is defined in site.pp, I believe that you need to set a local variable
in the same class that you are attempting to use the template in. for example:
<pre>
class nagios {
$myvariable = $::myvariable
file { "/bla": content => template("nagios/bla") }
}
</pre>
Where using $:: defines that the variable lookup should be from topscope. This
will let you use $myvariable in the template. Can you test and get back here
with the results. I think the "could not find relationship" error is also due
to the same issue.

Bug #7077: Scoped definitions as well as 'global variables' (defined in
site.pp) don't seem to work properly with stages

Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords: stages
Branch:
I just upgraded to 2.6.7 and decided to set up a pre and post stage for a
couple of things:
<pre>
# Run Stages and what stage to run classes (default all classes run
# in main)
stage {
"pre": before => Stage["main"];
"post": require => Stage["main"];
}
class {
"apt": stage => "pre";
"nagios::target" stage => "post";
"nsca::client" stage => "post";
}
</pre>
First, came the following errors:
<pre>
Tue Apr 12 17:51:40 -0700 2011 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from
remote server: Could not intern from pson: Could not convert from pson: Could
not find relationship target "Apt::Aptkey[]"
Tue Apr 12 17:51:40 -0700 2011 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog;
skipping run
</pre>
That define lives in the apt class set to run in the pre stage. So I comment
the stage class stanza for apt and then I got:
<pre>
Tue Apr 12 20:43:25 -0400 2011 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from
remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse template
nagios/etc/default/nagios3.erb: Could not find value for 'nagios_root_dir' at
/etc/puppet/production/modules/nagios/manifests/init.pp:291 on node builder Tue
Apr 12 20:43:25 -0400 2011 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog; skipping
run
</pre>
This variable is defined in site.pp. I make pretty extensive use of defining
variables in site.pp. It is worth noting that I do use environments and this
was all in the production environment.
