in vagrant, installing nodejs through puppet fails

[bewresu]

I'm trying this out with the --advanced flag and when provisioning vagrant I can't get past this roadblock:

err: /Stage[main]/Nodejs/Exec[clone-node-repo]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: Command exceeded timeout at /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0/nodejs/manifests/init.pp:12

Other times it's this:

err: /Stage[main]/Nodejs/Exec[clone-node-repo]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git node-source returned 128 instead of one of [0] at /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0/nodejs/manifests/init.pp:12

Both cases if I confirm with vagrant ssh it seems nodejs repo was cloned properly, and I was in fact able to sudo make install it manually from the cloned source.

After some searching, it seems it's a puppet issue related to this: https://github.com/alup/puppet-rbenv/issues/14

It must be noted that I installed vagrant-hostsupdater (https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater) and that I also have these modifications in my Vagrantfile, to solve other issues:

  # fix stdin: is not a tty (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/1673)
  config.ssh.shell = "bash -c 'BASH_ENV=/etc/profile exec bash'"

  # fix warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn (http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2013/01/19/upgrading-puppet-in-vagrant-boxes/)
  config.vm.hostname = "www.myactualsite.domain"

    #vagrant-hostsupdater plugin automatically update /etc/hosts
    config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.50.4"
    config.hostsupdater.aliases = ["myactualsite.domain"]
    config.hostsupdater.remove_on_suspend = true

These are all new to me, but I'm putting this here so others can confirm if it happens to them as well. As for me, as of the moment I'll just move on after installing nodejs manually.

Is this still an issue?

Yes, I am having the same problem along with a mysql error:

I'm also getting this issue, using the same generator params as gustavjf, on OSX Mavericks with Vagrant 1.6.3. Am going to dig around and see if I can figure it out, cos I love me some Vagrant.

UPDATE: this issue remained a problem when I tried to re-provision the VM with vagrant up && vagrant provision.

To solve it, I had to blow away the VM and start again with vagrant destroy && vagrant up --provision. The destroy/provision solution worked every time I tried it, sot it seems reliable.

I guess the original Puppet provisioning got itself into a bind it couldn't recover from? Looked like the cloning of the node Git repo failed, and that caused all other node manifest tasks to fail.

That's the benefit of disposable VM's I guess. Just start again.

So I think we can all agree that Puppet sucks. There are much better provisioning tools out there now, but I do not have the time to update this project. If anyone wants to transition it to Ansible that would be awesome, but until then I think we can close out this issue.
