Be aware that all vendor support for Puppet 3 ended at the end of 2016, and
Puppet provides their own packages (puppet-agent and puppetserver in PC1
replace the older puppet/puppetmaster combo) so you don't have to wait on
Debian. While you should plan your upgrade with care, the lack of any
support should be a motivating factor to start planning immediately instead
of waiting on a third party who isn't negatively affected by waiting, like
you are.

[Puppet Users] Re: Array Iteration for Community Edition of Puppet(3.8)

[Joe]

Got it guys, the issue was with the file_line declaration as evidenced by 
the error. I made the declaration change with the variable and it worked. 

Thanks all for the help.

[Puppet Users] Re: Array Iteration for Community Edition of Puppet(3.8)

[Joe]

Thanks R.I.

So iteration works with 3.8x with future parser. I am going to avoid 4 
until Debian builds it into their repositories.

So iteration works but not with file_line.. 

Here is the code.

hiera array
mod1::testdefs:
  - 'hello'
  - 'there'
  - 'friends'
##mod1  init.pp
each($testdefs) |$hline| {
   file_line { 'Append a line to /etc/testfile':
  ensure => present,
  line  => $hline,
   path=> '/etc/testfile',
}
}


##error is this
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Duplicate 
declaration: File_line[Append a line to /etc/testfile] is already declared 
in file /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/mod1/manifests/init.pp:48; 
cannot redeclare at 
/etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/mod1/manifests/init.pp:48

I tried putting the loop in the file_line type but that throws another 
error since it is not acceptable to file_line.

Is there any way around this that you guys are aware of?

Thanks

You'll have to read about upgrading, its quite the undertaking and the
process is designed so people dont accidentally update and then end up
with inoperable CM systems.

Best start with the Puppet 4 upgrade docs and release notes etc, also 
some pretty good talks at recent Puppetconf about updating

[Puppet Users] Re: Array Iteration for Community Edition of Puppet(3.8)

[Joe]

Hello Guys thanks for the replies..

Apologies for the top posting here.. the reply to post only includes my 
text. I am using the "puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb" apt source from 
puppet labs and the latest version is 3.8.7 as seen below. I am also using 
the puppetmaster-passenger package from the same repo. R.I Pienaarr said to 
use version 4 however I do not see puppetmaster 4 packages available.

puppetmaster:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.8.7-1puppetlabs1
  Version table:
 3.8.7-1puppetlabs1 0
500 http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
 3.8.6-1puppetlabs1 0
500 http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ trusty/main amd64 Packages


Am I missing something? How can I install the Puppetmaster 4 and 
Puppetmaster-passenger 4 packages on ubuntu server via repository?

Thanks again

This isn't a case of something that stopped working, the feature is new.

Just blindly enabling future parser, especially on older 3.x releases
can actively cause pretty bad side effects, unexpected changes to nodes etc

First time I did it I had to reinstall the machine in question, so perhaps
not the best of advise either :)

While understandable, that's something of an irritating answer-- It 
underlies a problem I've felt puppet has had since the 1.x days-- Any 
feature you're using can stop working with little warning, unless you 
follow the puppetlabs blogs closely.

Newer changes aren't quite as drastic as banning hyphens from a class name, 
but it can still be a major pain when you have a bunch of puppet code that 
used to work.  :)

It also does a nice job of completely ignoring the user's question.

you need to enable the "future parser"-- which is also the first step in
