Issue #6210 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Needs More Information to Closed
This error message is fixed in 2.7.x and later (and perhaps even in earlier 2.6.x releases also. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6210: Fix error messages to be meaningful https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6210#change-63458 Author: Nico Schottelius Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: error reporting Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Good morning again, another bug I'm often hit by, but missed to report (bad me!): Puppet features some very meaningless errors, which partly can be found in a "puppet dictorany" via search engines, but debugging puppet would be way easier without same. Examples: [email protected]: Nov 22 04:00:02 ikr13 puppetd[2552]: Could not request certificate: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass [email protected]: /var/log/syslog.6.gz:Nov 26 11:37:11 bach14 puppetd[19513]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]) Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass /var/log/syslog.6.gz:Nov 26 11:37:11 bach14 puppetd[19513]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]) Failed to retrieve current state of resource: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://puppet/plugins: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass /var/log/syslog.6.gz:Nov 26 11:37:11 bach14 puppetd[19513]: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass I'd propose to ensure that all the misleading messages are gone in 7.x, this may signal a "good new start" as well.
