npm provider fail (module not working) on CentOS6 #235

Closed fnerdwq closed 8 years ago

fnerdwq commented 8 years ago

On a CentOS 6 system (ruby 1.8.7!) the npm provider with the new syntax in your module version 2 does not work anymore. I get the following error

Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/npm: /root/nodejs/lib/puppet/provider/package/npm.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end
...package).provide :npm, parent: Puppet::Provider::Package do
                              ^
Error: Could not run: Could not retrieve facts for localhost.fritz.box: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/npm: /root/nodejs/lib/puppet/provider/package/npm.rb:3: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end
...package).provide :npm, parent: Puppet::Provider::Package do

Thanks for investigating.

Hi, with the 2.X releases of the module we dropped ruby1.8 support. Please use the older releases, or upgrade to centos7 or switch to the new puppet AIO packages. They ship a bundled ruby version which is newer. You can always contact us at #voxpupuli on freenode if you need any help for any of the steps.

Hi, unfortunately not that simple. We use puppet 3.8 with foreman on CentOS 6 and 7. And there is the need to install nodejs6.

So I might need to fork 1.3 an patch the installation of the 6.x repo.

Thanks anyway.

Hey I'm still seeing this issue on 2.3.0, which claims to have Puppet 3 support. I'm currently on Puppet v3.8.7, does anyone know if that is bundled with ruby 1.8? Does the puppet-nodejs module support that version of ruby?
