Issue #16840 has been updated by Andrew Rankin.
I've also hit this bug. I had to defined "pluginsource = puppet:///plugins" in my puppet.conf in order to not get: [root@puppet0 puppet]# puppet agent --test Info: Retrieving plugin Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Connection timed out - connect(2) Error: Could not retrieve plugin: execution expired When using SRV records. Andrew ---------------------------------------- Bug #16840: Default setting for pluginsource problematic for deployments using SRV records https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16840#change-101260 * Author: Shane Madden * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 * Keywords: srv * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The current default for the `pluginsource` setting is `puppet://$server/plugins`. This works well with a `server` set, but in deployments that utilize 3.0's SRV record feature, the `server` setting is likely not utilized at all for communication with a master, and will often be unset. If SRV records are in use the `pluginsource` still gets filled in with the contents of the `server` setting - and if it's unset, then the default is `puppet`. This causes failure of the pluginsync process, which is a non-fatal error for the agent run: Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://puppet/plugins: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known I believe that changing the default setting for `pluginsource` from `puppet://$server/plugins` to `puppet:///plugins` is functionally equivalent for 'normal' deployments not running `use_srv_records`, while it will cause the pluginsync process to find a working master in cases where `use_srv_records` is utilized. Simply setting `pluginsource = puppet:///plugins` is an effective workaround for SRV record deployments in the interim. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
