[Puppet Users] Re: Struggle with erb syntax

2012-02-21 Thread thinkwell
Well, harrumph. Scratchin' mah head - totally baffled, perplexed. I
went to eat and gave it a break. Came back and re-verified syntax
checks. Syntax OK - just as before. Ran puppet validate for the first
time with no errors.

Then, for kicks and giggles, I again to apply the config to the node.
Shazzam - it worked; yet I had made no changes. :-( Very nice it's
working, but why the earlier err: Could not retrieve catalog from
remote server: wrong header line
format that cost me so much time? Seems buggy, but I reckon it's me,
the learning puppet user.

Question: what are some debugging tips  tricks that you experts use
when developing new module classes  templates, especially when the
errors messages are so vague? What can I learn from this incident?

Any chance your puppet server is working overtime? Running behind webrick,
or something else? I've noticed some weird unexplained errors when the
server starts to get busy...
