This was fixed in 44edc94. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18052: Error when attempting to run: puppet module generate... https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18052#change-84135 Author: Marc Tardif Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen Category: module tool Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/44edc94 When running puppet from git as of today, revision 86f7e5e4106e00d2b87f7f385a4a65815dae61fd, this is what happens when attempting to generate a module: <pre> $ puppet module generate --debug foo-bar Notice: Generating module at /tmp/foo-bar Error: compile error (erb):36: syntax error, unexpected ')' ...ut.concat(( Time.now.year -).to_s); _erbout.concat " Your ... ^ Error: Try 'puppet help module generate' for usage </pre> The first problem is that the error does not provide the filename where there is apparently a syntax error. After looking around, I found that the culprit is lib/puppet/module_tool/skeleton/templates/generator/manifests/init.pp.erb The second problem is that the embedded part fo the template for the timestamp contains a trailing dash which is unnecessary: <pre> # Copyright <%= Time.now.year -%> Your name here, unless otherwise noted. </pre> Simply removing the dash solves the problem and a module can be generated successfully. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
