PuPHPet build error - invalid option: --manifestdir

Question

I am giving PuPHPet a go, so created an archive using all the basic options.
When trying vagrant up I get the error:

==> machine1: Error: Could not parse application options: invalid option: --manifestdir

A little bit of investigation points to the problem being with puppet V5 not longer supports manifest_dir option.
The suggested fix is to update the config to use environments and set environment and environments_path in config.

Can anyone throw some light on where in the config.yaml these need to be set?
Also where in the PuPHPet directory structure the environment folder needs to live?

The config.yaml that I am using;

Answer 1

Step 1:

Open puphpet/vagrant/Vagrantfile-local

Step 2:

Find this line of code:

puppet.manifests_path = "#{data['vm']['provision']['puppet']['manifests_path']}"

Step 3:

Insert these two lines of code before the line of code previously mentioned in step 2

puppet.environment_path = "#{data['vm']['provision']['puppet']['environment_path']}"
puppet.environment      = "#{data['vm']['provision']['puppet']['environment']}"

It should look like this now:

---

Step 4:

open puphpet/config.yaml

Step 5:

Find this line of code:

manifests_path: puphpet/puppet/manifests

Step 6:

Insert these two lines of code before the line of code previously mentioned in step 5

environment_path: puphpet/puppet/environments
environment: development

It should look like this now:

Step 7:

Go to puphpet/puppet directory and create a new directory and name it environments and inside the environments directory, create another directory and name it development

The structure should look like the one below:

And you're done!!!

But make sure to run vagrant provision to load the new configuration.
