invalid parameter errors in puppet

[neillturner]

hi,

I'm getting invalid parameter errors when running the latest 2.0.0 version. I had to comment the the following ensure and ensure_newline parameters in the init manifest:

      concat { '/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf':
#        ensure         => 'present',
        owner          => 'root',
        group          => 'root',
        mode           => '0644',
#        ensure_newline => true,
        warn           => true,
        require        => File['/etc/awslogs'],
      }

here in non-markdown format

      concat { '/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf':
#        ensure         => 'present',
        owner          => 'root',
        group          => 'root',
        mode           => '0644',
#        ensure_newline => true,
        warn           => true,
        require        => File['/etc/awslogs'],
      }

Can you details on versions of everything you are using and the config you are using to produce this error (and the full error message)?

puppet 3.8.1 on centos 6.5 using puppet apply and test-kitchen 1.4.0 with the kitchen-puppet plugin. Error: Invalid parameter ensure on Concat[/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf] at /tmp/kitchen/modules/cloudwatchlogs/manifests/init.pp:96 on node ip- Error: Invalid parameter ensure on Concat[/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf] at /tmp/kitchen/modules/cloudwatchlogs/manifests/init.pp:96 on node ip-

i just have something quite simple: class {'cloudwatchlogs': require => Class['cloudwatch_monitoring'], }

cloudwatchlogs::log { 'system_messages': path => '/var/log/messages', streamname => '{instance_id}', }

My guess is it is to do with concat module. I'm using puppetlabs-concat (2.0.1) ripienaar-concat (0.2.0)

and i'm using puppetlabs-stdlib (4.4.0) so i meet the dependencies

I'm not sure how you have both the RIPienaar & Puppetlabs versions of concat installed (they're both named concat so that wouldn't be possible in a standard Puppet installation).

It looks like the error you are receiving is caused by using ripienaar-concat which does not support values such as ensure & ensure_newline. This module only supports the puppetlabs-concat module. If you switch over to that it should work.

I'll look into it. thanks for confirming. the problem is with common module dependencies of stdlib, concat that are used by lots of modules can cause conflicts. -)
