puppet agent not recognizing r10k pulled modules

Question

Please help me configuring custom puppet modules from github. The modules are pulled correctly in master but not getting recognized on the agent nodes at all.

Puppetfile

mod "puppet-lamp",
    :git => "https://github.com/blablabla/puppet_lamp.git",
    :ref => "659fe4056060426d3a1449sdfgbc290571f5714f"

environment.conf

modulepath = modules:$basemodulepath

r10k pulls the module from github correctly

.
└── production
    ├── environment.conf
    ├── modules
    │   └── lamp
    │       └── manifests
    │           ├── apache.pp
    │           └── test.pp
    └── Puppetfile

4 directories, 4 files

apache.pp

class apache {

  package { 'httpd':
    ensure => installed,
  }

  service { 'httpd':
    enable => true,
    ensure => 'running'
  }

}

site.pp

include apache

But when I run the agent, nothing gets applied!

Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Info: Applying configuration version '1549348460'
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds

Tried using the node definition, no change...

node 'default' {
  include 'apache'
}

Using latest puppet here

[root@puppetmaster environments]# puppetserver --version
puppetserver version: 6.2.0

[root@node01 ~]# puppet -V
6.2.0

Could someone please advise on what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your class name must match the module name to obey autoloading restrictions. In your case, you have named the module lamp, and you have named the class apache. The easier route here would be to rename the class lamp since it is referenced as lamp everywhere else according to your question.

Another autoloading restriction is that your class name must match the module name and manifest name. In this case, your manifest is named apache.pp, which means the class would then have to be lamp::apache in both definition and declaration. The easier route here would be to rename the manifest from apache.pp to init.pp so that the class name would just have to match the module name.

Given both of these namespacing problems with your autoloading, the two steps that are easiest to get you working would be:

• Rename definitions and references to apache in your manifests to lamp (e.g. class lamp and include lamp).
• Rename your apache.pp manifest to init.pp.

For further information, you can consult the Puppet documentation for the version of Puppet that you are using.
