Issue #17466 has been updated by eric sorenson. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted Target version set to 3.x Keywords set to errors
Yeah that's not very friendly. Adding 'errors' keyword for evaluation during an error-message iteration. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17466: Bad error from user type when no provider is available https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17466#change-76302 Author: James Sweeny Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: errors Branch: The user type gives "undefined method `exists?' for nil:NilClass" when it can't find a suitable provider. This should be more clear about what the issue was. <pre>[root@util puppet]# mv /usr/sbin/usermod /usr/sbin/usermod.bak [root@util puppet]# puppet resource --debug user root Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUser_role_add: file roleadd does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice: file /usr/bin/dscl does not exist Debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap' Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderLdap: feature ldap is missing Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderPw: file pw does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUseradd: file usermod does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUser_role_add: file roleadd does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice: file /usr/bin/dscl does not exist Debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap' Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderLdap: feature ldap is missing Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderPw: file pw does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUseradd: file usermod does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUser_role_add: file roleadd does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice: file /usr/bin/dscl does not exist Debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap' Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderLdap: feature ldap is missing Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderPw: file pw does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUseradd: file usermod does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUser_role_add: file roleadd does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice: file /usr/bin/dscl does not exist Debug: Failed to load library 'ldap' for feature 'ldap' Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderLdap: feature ldap is missing Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderPw: file pw does not exist Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUseradd: file usermod does not exist Error: Could not run: undefined method `exists?' for nil:NilClass [root@util puppet]# </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
