you did used the right paths? type/glassfish.rb provider/glassfish/asadmin.rb And the command asadmin is present on you machine? My guess is that Puppet cannot find your provider and because there is none, the type cannot call the exists? method on your provider and then tries to use the exists? method of your type. But your type does not have an exists? method (and thats correct) While you can write a type with no provider (the type must do all the retrieve, insync, etc.) you shouldn't to that. But you have to make sure that your provider gets loaded BTW: You defined portbase, profile etc as parameters. Puppet will not check if these are in sync, if the glassfish domain is already there. Is this intentional? When you want to parse output of a command there already are some helper functions like execpipe in util.rb you can use. You may also want to look in the exectype how the change owner work. I personally dont like su - user in scripts -Stefan
