Hi Markus,

For more information on what that script does, check out

setup rspec-puppet in your modules manually).

 Well, the location is inserted into an apt repo a few lines below:

 apt::source { '10gen':
  location    => $location,
  ...
 }

 That's just not not going to work in RHEL. This needs to be
 conditional which use apt::source on debian family and yum on redhat.
 I admit this module was pretty minimal, so any updates such as
 including support RHEL would be very much appreciated.

 After that, you are probably going to have another hurdle with Ruby
 1.9. I started building RPMs, but not quite ready:
 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=Ruby-1.9.3&project=home%3Ananliu.
 I don't know the best way to get Ruby 1.9 on RHEL, so suggestions are
 welcomed.

 Thanks,

 Nan

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: rspec first steps troubles

[Matthaus Litteken]

This is related to https://github.com/rodjek/rspec-puppet/issues/15
and http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11191. It looks like there
is a setup script in rspec-puppet called rspec-puppet-init to handle
this problem. Alternatively, the workaround that bodepd mentions in
the github issue is to just create an empty site.pp, so `touch
/Users/mafalb/.puppet/manifests/site.pp` should also address this
problem for you.

Re: [Puppet Users] advice on module/class refactoring for defines

[Tim Mooney]

In regard to: Re: [Puppet Users] advice on module/class refactoring for...:


Note the define for config() within the init.pp for ldconfig.  That's now
out of favor.  Moving that define into it's own file in
modules/ldconfig/manifests/config.pp is straightforward, but it leaves
me with questions about where the exec should be.


I would say include 'ldconfig' in define ldconfig::config, then the
define is self contained, and you don't need remember include ldconfig
everywhere.


Thanks Nan.  Not certain why that wasn't obvious to me before you pointed
it out, but it's perfect.  :-)

+1

That's all around the best available option.  It's much nicer than the
original version, even, because users don't have to separately include
class 'ldconfig' before they can use the define.


Agreed, that's something I was hoping to avoid.

You can also provide a plain HTTP(S) URI to the source parameter and it
will only be downloaded if it's not already installed.

I have Ruby 1.9 (the build from Fedora 17) available for EL6 variants.
  It's not super-tested, but I've used it for some tests/experiments.

I think you forgot to copy and paste the output.

In general there are a couple of key points.

First, custom facts distributed via Puppet pluginsync are always available
in your manifests.

Second, if you distribute your custom facts via pluginsync you should use
facter --puppet to load them with Facter.  Keep in mind Facter and Puppet
are two separate applications which is why --puppet is necessary.

Third, Facter (and Puppet) load things from multiple places.  This is how
our plugin system works.  With regard to Facter the libraries that come
bundled in the package are installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet
Labs\Puppet\facter\lib.  You shouldn't ever need to tell Facter to load
things from this path since it will load from here automatically.  Also,
you shouldn't ever put your own custom facts in this location since the
package may overwrite the directory on an upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic

Shameless plug here - In the current beta version Veewee is now able to 
build Parallels systems.


https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee

That might be useful to create your environment, as there is no real 
need to import it?

And it will install ruby and puppet

Passenger will be coming to the EPEL repos soon.  Its been a long process 
but a lot of work has gone into getting this done in a way that conforms to 
the Fedora guidelines.  Once this finial question has been worked out I'd 
consider those packages to be THE source for installing onto RHEL / CentOS

No, but look here:

> puppet://puppet.example.com/plugins


That looks like a misconfiguration, probably of the client.  Puppet is
looking for its own plugins under /var/lib/puppet/lib, but that
directory doesn't exist.  Those plugins include everything Puppet
would use to apply the catalog, so it's not surprising that nothing is
applied.

I don't know how Puppet got into this strange state, but you could try
to solve it by configuring the correct directory via a 'libdir'
parameter in the [main] section of puppet.conf.

Yes, do, but that's not the problem.

That is mistaken.  Generally speaking, the default value for 'ensure'
parameters is "present" or some equivalent value.  There has to be
some default value because otherwise the resource declaration is
meaningless.  Puppet's default might actually be "file" for this
resource type, but it makes no actual difference in this case.

That's all around the best available option.  It's much nicer than the
original version, even, because users don't have to separately include
class 'ldconfig' before they can use the define.

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet on Windows: Avoid download msi files if they aren't going to be installed

This stanza:

tells Puppet that there is supposed to be a file C:\\SOFTWARE\
\7z920.msi on the system, and its content is supposed to exactly match
that of puppet://puppet.upc.edu/modules/windows/7z920.msi.  That's
altogether independent of whatever use that file may have.  If the
file is missing when Puppet runs then it will download a fresh copy.
If it is present then Puppet will check its content; it will download
a fresh copy only if the content does not match.

If you do not want the file downloaded every time then either
1) leave it in place where Puppet puts it (per your instructions), or
2) remove that stanza, because it is a lie if you don't actually want
the file to be there.

If you make the MSI file accessible to the system via a mapped drive
or network share then you can exercise option (2) above without losing
the ability to run the installer.

[Puppet Users] rspec first steps troubles

[Markus Falb]

I try do implement tests for my puppet code and was playing with
rspec-puppet but the following code gives me errors

require 'spec_helper'
describe 'irqbalance' do
  it { should include_class('irqbalance') }
  it { should include_class('irqbalance::data') }
  it { should contain_package('irqbalance').with(:ensure => 'installed') }
end

The errors looks like

NoMethodError:
   undefined method `include_class'
NoMethodError:
   undefined method `contain_package'

I feel lost.
These methods are supposed to provided by rspec-puppet ?

$ gem list|grep rspec
rspec (2.10.0)
rspec-core (2.10.1)
rspec-expectations (2.10.0)
rspec-mocks (2.10.1)
rspec-puppet (0.1.3)

This is on OS-X

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet on Windows: Avoid download msi files if they aren't going to be installed

[tiochan]

Jeff, thank for your reply.


Really puppet downloads the file only once, this is not in fact a problem.
I re-made the previous code to simplify it:

class 7Zip() {

include software_dir

file { 'C:\\SOFTWARE\\7z920.msi':
source  => 'puppet://puppet.upc.edu/modules/windows/7z920.msi',
}

package { '7-zip 9.20':
ensure => installed,
provider => 'msi',
source => 'C:\\SOFTWARE\\7z920.msi',
}
}

I can see that if the msi has been installed (by puppet), puppet will not 
try to install again, this is correct. But always, if it has been installed 
or not, the file C:\\SOFTWARE\\7z920.msi is downloaded.

A band of having a software repository mounted as a mapped drive... Is 
possible to avoid that the msi file to being downloaded if it is not going 
to be installed?



Thanks again.

Hi,


does anyone have a mod_passenger for RHEL6 from a trusted source, where

I

*don't* have to compile on the server? I'm trying to upgrade the
puppetmaster/dashboard here and the docs on the wiki
(http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Passenger) are

not

helpful either.

I have been using Phusion Passenger repo in production since a few
months and so far no complains.
URL: http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/6/$basearch


Except that - as far as i understood it - those packages require a
compiler and a local compile.
