Can't make it work #1

Closed alexdga closed 10 years ago

Hello !

First thank you for releasing this module, it seems really interesting but i can't make it work.

I copied the directory in my module directory, the added Package { provider => 'yum3' } in my site site.pp and i get this error when running puppet agent --test :

Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'yum3' : undefined method 'catalog' for nil:NilClass

I notified that the puppet run didn't try to create the files present in the files foler of the module. I added include puppet-yum-plugin to my site.pp file, then on next run the files were correctly created but there's still the same error about provider 'yum3'.

Hi Alex,

You probably don't have a package{"yum": ...} anywhere in your recipe, which is mandatory for this plugin (and a good idea anyway. Even something as simple as package{"yum": ensure => installed} will do.

I'll amend the documentation to address both issues.

It is now working using new steps in documentation.

Thank you

Hi, it is now working without errors using your new documentation, but i think it is not working as expected :

in my puppet dashboard, package execution time is about 59 seconds on a total run of 72 seconds ... there is always this message showing up during a run :

Notice: Puppet::Type::Package:ProviderYum3: Prefetch done (unable to process 11 packages)....

I'm using ensure => purged in my package types, if i use absent puppet can't handle dependencies and run fails ... (this is a bug in puppet i think)

Thank you.

Ah, the plugin doesn't support 'purged' yet (for the simple reason that I don't need it and forgot about purged). I've never heard of a bug that causes puppet to fail when using 'absent' though. Did you report this to puppetlabs?

Commit 7d607db adds support for purged, please try it and let me know if it works.
