Hi, I’ve got no idea if this is a bug or some kind of misuse/misconfiguration. Hope somebody can help. Thanks!
If I change a file in a module or manifest directory this *often* results in errors, mostly of the following kinds - Could not find class for on node - Cannot find definition Class on node These errors occur when puppet modules/manifests are changed – but it happens only once. If it happens affected puppet agents will use their cached catalog once. *The next time these agents request a catalog it is compiled flawlessly and everything will work like a charm* – all errors are gone. Problem is we have agents with large catalogs. Their catalog runs can take up to over a minute and so the time it takes for a change to be applied will then be doubled to take up to 2 or even 3 minutes. Usually changes of modules/manifests are performed by “git pull”. But it’s easy to reproduce these error messages by simple “touch” operations. Here are some interesting log observations and their [commonness]. Yes AFAICS they always appear in triplets. It rarely happens that there are no problems at all after a modification. > touch /opt/xxx/dev/puppet/manifests/site.pp [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <node> on <node> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <node> on <node> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <node> on <node> > touch /opt/xxx/dev/puppet/puppet.conf [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <nodeY> on <node> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <nodeY> on <node> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class> for <nodeY> on <node> [sometimes] puppet-master[12498]: Cannot find definition Class on node <node> [sometimes] puppet-master[12498]: Cannot find definition Class on node <node> [sometimes] puppet-master[12498]: Cannot find definition Class on node <node> [rare] puppet-master[12498]: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type <own custom type> at <class file> on node <node> [rare] puppet-master[12498]: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type <own custom type> at <class file> on node <node> [rare] puppet-master[12498]: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type <own custom type> at <class file> on node <node> > touch /opt/xxx/dev/puppet/modules/dispatcher/manifests/init.pp [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class not even part of module dispatcher> for <node not even affected by module dispatcher> on <node not even...> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class not even part of module dispatcher> for <node not even affected by module dispatcher> on <node not even...> [often] puppet-master[12498]: Could not find class <class not even part of module dispatcher> for <node not even affected by module dispatcher> on <node not even...> Affected classes and nodes seem to be randomly chosen.
