Hello Together,
i have a strange behaviour wich i cant explain myself. I want to create a
new custom type (and later a provider) who can configure our own created
software. For this, i createt a test module and put there everything for my
development. It looks like this
.
├── lib
│ └── puppet
│ ├── provider
│ └── type
│ └── custom_type.rb
└── manifests
└── init.pp
In Module development, my steps would be this:
1. Make changes
2. appy on a node
3. Make changes
4. ...
But if i apply a module who uses a custom type, i only can make changes
until i never use this custom type on a puppetmaster before. It looks like,
the puppetmaster "remembers" the custom type and every change results in a
failure. If i reset my puppetmaster, add the changed custom type,
everything works fine. Let explain me this in code, because my english is
not so good:
For example i have a very emtpy custom_type
Puppet::Type.newtype(:custom_type) do
newparam(:name) do
isnamevar
end
end
and the init.pp from my module looks like this:
class type_test{
custom_type { 'aname':
}
}
It works fine if i apply this.
When i add now a new parameter for example:
Puppet::Type.newtype(:custom_type) do
newparam(:name) do
isnamevar
end
newparam(:envid) do
# validate is tring or false
validate do |value|
unless value.is_a?(String)
raise Puppet::Error, 'Parameter envid is not a string.'
end
end
end
end
and i apply this by the new init.pp
class type_test{
custom_type { 'aname':
envid => '78121-1239-0000-1231',
}
}
he gives me the following failure:
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid
> parameter envid on custom_type[aname] at
> /etc/puppet/environments/development/modules/type_test/manifests/init.pp:8
> on node xyz
>
The strange this is: If i reset now my puppetmaster on a older snapshot and
apply the new version of my custom_type.rb and init.pp again. everything
works fine. I have this on every change, for example, adding more
parameters, propertys or even i make it ensurable.
It cant be the right way, to always reset everythng on a older snapshot or?
Why the puppetmaster "rembers" the custom_type definition and does not
accept changes? How i handle this?
Thanks for any help
Akai
