Metadata file does not exist: /etc/puppet/environments/production/metadata.json #299

Closed robbyt closed 9 years ago

robbyt commented 9 years ago

With this really basic Puppetfile, I'm getting the error "Metadata file does not exist" when I run:

cd /etc/puppet/environments/production ; librarian-puppet install --destructive

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, Puppet 3.7.5, Ruby 1.9.3p484.

Can I safely ignore this error? What am I doing wrong?

you are using metadata which says "use dependencies defined in metadata.json" and you don't have a metadata.json?

@carlossg I was confused by the documentation for metadata, I thought that this was to tell librarian-puppet to read the metadata.json files inside of the modules instead of the Modulefile.

What is the actual usecase for the metadata option? Is using it like an alternative to listing the modules in the Puppetfile?

correct, so you don't need to duplicate info
