7 years ago The problem occurs when strict_variables are enabled in the puppetmaster configuration: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.2/configuration.html#strictvariables
When the fact is empty when collectd is not installed (that's the case on the first puppet run with this module) it fails.

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions
How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)
class { "collectd": config_file => $config_file, plugin_conf_dir => $plugin_conf_dir, plugin_conf_dir_mode => "755", purge => true, recurse => true, purge_config => true, minimum_version => '5.7', manage_package => $manage_package, manage_repo => $manage_repo, manage_service => true, service_name => 'maverick-collectd', typesdb => [$typesdb], }
What are you seeing
Error: Evaluation Error: Unknown variable: '::collectd_version'. at /srv/maverick/software/maverick/manifests/puppet-modules/collectd/manifests/init.pp:37:33 on node maverick-ubuntu17
Any additional information you'd like to impart
puppet is being run as a local standalone process (puppet apply), not as client/server. Worked fine with version 5.3.0 of this module
