face doesn't seem to be loading...?

[sjoeboo]

So I wanted to kick the tires on this as it looked cool, but, so far, no luck...

Module is installed:

[root@master modules]# pwd
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules
[root@master modules]# ls -l package_updates/
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant   73 Jan 12 06:30 CHANGELOG.md
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant  352 Jan 12 06:32 checksums.json
drwxr-xr-x 3 vagrant vagrant   19 Jan 12 16:32 lib
drwxr-xr-x 2 vagrant vagrant   20 Jan 12 16:32 manifests
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant  771 Jan 12 06:32 metadata.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 vagrant vagrant 4477 Jan 12 06:28 README.md

But, a client, which IS getting the package updates class, doesn't have the face available:

[root@sensu ~]# cat /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/state/classes.txt  | grep package_updates
package_updates
[root@sensu ~]# ls -l /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/puppet/
face/       feature/    functions/  package.rb  parser/     provider/   type/       util/
[root@sensu ~]# ls -l /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/puppet/face/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3039 Jan 13 10:17 package.rb
[root@sensu ~]# puppet package
Error: Unknown Puppet subcommand 'package'
See 'puppet help' for help on available puppet subcommands

Cron job was created:

# Puppet Name: package_updates
* 3 * * * puppet package updates --render-as json > /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/package_updates.json

But thats it.

[root@sensu ~]# puppet --version
4.3.1

[root@sensu ~]# ls -l /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/puppet/face/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3039 Jan 13 10:17 package.rb

Hmm, the face should be available after pluginsync. You shouldn't have to modify the RUBYLIB like you used to in Puppet. I'll try it out on a fresh agent install.

[ptierno]

pluginsync is enabled. and the updates action is listed in the output of puppet help package

[root@puppet-us-east-1 ~]# puppet config print pluginsync
true

[root@puppet-us-east-1 ~]# puppet help package

Looks like the application directory didn't get committed prior to release. Sorry about that. Take a look at PR #8. That should resolve the issue.

[sjoeboo]

Awesome, thanks, looks good to me!

[ccaum]

PR #8 resolves this.
