The exception is being thrown by this statement in puppet/node.rb (of 
Puppet 2.7.23):

names += split_name(name) if name.include?(".")

Combined with the exception detail message, that shows the node object 
having a nil 'name' attribute, which is consistent with the odd log message 
Ellison pointed out.  Just how this particular node might have a nil name 
is unclear, particularly given that the Puppet::Node class's initializer 
has a specific guard against that.

I would scrutinize the affected node's certificate, especially in 
comparison with those of other nodes that do not experience this problem.  
Perhaps there is something odd with the name it bears.

If that yields no fruit then my next guess would be that there is some 
custom component -- a custom type or function, or perhaps even a template 
-- taking inappropriate liberties with Puppet's internals.  That sort of 
thing could be data dependent, which might explain why only one node is 
affected (so far).

No such ENC (other than Hiera).
There is also no "static" node declaration in Puppet; that comes from 
Hiera. But again, rest of the 50-odd nodes are running just fine the very 
same way.

Is there an ENC involved?
Is there a node declaration matching the affected node?

Good catch Ellison; I haven't noticed that but nope, nothing "unusual" from 
facter on the affected node. 
Now running puppet agent -tv with certificate cleared from both master and 
agent yields these:

It does sign the certificate just right but again the same wired "info: 
Expiring the node cache of" after that.

It's weird, but it looks like the hostname isn't being defined, or isn't 
being sent properly. See

"info: Expiring the node cache of"

With just a blank afterwards. Does running facter on the affected node show 
anything unusual?

Ok, then webrick is not the cause of your problem.

Run with --trace set to get a ruby stack trace. That will help to find

Is this using version 3.6.x of Puppet? We are currently working on 
webrick issues for 3.6 that are caused by concurrency problems.

(I noticed in the trace that you are using webrick).

Note that Webrick is really just suitable for light out of the box, 
simple development test work and is not recommended for production.


If you switch to using passenger, do you get the same error?

Re: [Puppet Users] what is actually "undefined method 'include?' for nil:NilClass on node" error?

[Felix Frank]

Hi,

this error can me pretty much anything - you're likely hitting some kind
of bug (perhaps just a lack of error handling).

Run the puppet master with the --trace flag to get more details on
what's happening specifically.
