Issue #18541 has been reported by Andrew Parker. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18541: Unhelpful error message when a directory in `modulepath` is missing https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18541
Author: Andrew Parker Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.1.0-rc1 Keywords: errors Branch: Currently (3.1.0-rc1) installing the OSX packages does not create `/etc/puppet/modules`, but the default for the `modulepath` setting includes that location. This causes a confusing error message when the agent runs: <pre> Puppets-Mac:puppet development$ sudo puppet agent --test Info: Retrieving plugin Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) puppet://localhost/plugins Info: Caching catalog for localhost Info: Applying configuration version '1357943257' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds </pre> If that directory is created, then the error message is not produced. <pre> Puppets-Mac:puppet development$ sudo mkdir /etc/puppet/modules Password: Puppets-Mac:puppet development$ sudo puppet agent --test Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Caching catalog for localhost Info: Applying configuration version '1357943257' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds </pre> The error that appears in the master's logs is no more helpful. <pre> 1/11/13 2:44:52.551 PM com.puppetlabs.puppetmaster: [0;32mInfo: Could not find filesystem info for file 'plugins' in environment production [0m 1/11/13 2:44:52.701 PM com.puppetlabs.puppetmaster: [0;32mInfo: Could not find file_metadata for 'plugins' [0m </pre> I would expect that in this case the agent issues no warning because there are simply no plugins to download and the master issues a warning that a directory in the `modulepath` does not exist. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
