Okay, I am one step farther. After seeing "Invalid resource" for about 100 times I symlinked the type and provider dirs to /var/.../puppet/ (the global, core putty installation files). I basically wanted to see if I have an invalid ruby file, or if puppet simply doesn't notice the downloaded plugins.
It turns out - the latter. in the global puppet dir I get no more "Invalid type" errors, and my debug print statement in the exists? method gets printed. Now - what do I have to do to make puppet realize that this stupid plugin is there? It _does_ even autoload it - if I change it I get a diff printed, the code gets executed (I see print statements I put in there) - but once the type shall be acutally used puppet chickens out. This is so extremely annoying. Pluginsync = true is activated in the [main] and [master] section of client and master. Does nobody have any idea? I am using puppet 2.6.17 from the SuSE SLES 11 SP2 repo. thanks in advance & greetings! Axel. Am Freitag, 28.
