Jira (PUP-1515) Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers

[Andreas Ntaflos (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Andreas Ntaflos commented on an issue   Re: Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers "Me, too." Our Puppet master currently runs in the 'production' environment while a growing number of nodes run in a different environment (called 'production_redux', as we are overhauling the Puppet infrastructure on that site). Using the puppetlabs-mysql module in the 'production_redux' environment (but not in 'production') we get the "invalid parameter provider" exception trying to manage MySQL users and databases.

I have no idea what to make of this. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1515 Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers In Puppet 3 I am getting an error on all definitions for custom types. It says "Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter provider...". Provider should be a given parameter for custom types because otherwise there is no way to specify which provider should be used with it. This is potentially a very major bug. Please let me know how I can help so you're ...
