Thanks Krzysztof. It successfully runs now, but output is misleading on subsequent runs:
build ~]# puppet agent -tv Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Caching catalog for build Info: Applying configuration version '1349482471' /Stage[main]/Baseline-testing::Ntpd/Package[ntp]/ensure: ensure changed '4.2.4p8-2.el6' to 'purged' Finished catalog run in 6.10 seconds build ~]# build ~]# puppet agent -tv Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Caching catalog for build Info: Applying configuration version '1349482471' /Stage[main]/Baseline-testing::Ntpd/Package[ntp]/ensure: created Finished catalog run in 1.10 seconds build ~]# build ~]# rpm -q ntp package ntp is not installed The only class being called for the 'build' node is 'baseline-testing::ntpd', which only ensures that the NTP package is removed (the 8 lines of code you recommended). It does remove the package, but I don't know why it mentions creating it upon the second run, even though it does not actually get re-installed. Maybe traditional 'if' statements are advised. ~Matt On Friday, October 5, 2012 11:09:03 AM UTC-4, Krzysztof Wilczynski wrote: > > Hey, > > This selector expects to get a true boolean value e.g. true / false > (TrueClass / FalseClass in Ruby) and that is why it is failing, since you > are passing a string "true" from the fact (and all values coming from > Facter are strings, even numeric values). > > Grab this: > > > https://raw.github.com/kwilczynski/puppet-functions/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/str2bool.rb > > And then try: > > class baseline-testing::ntpd { > package { "ntp": > ensure => str2bool($is_virtual) ? { > false => present, > true => purged > } > } > } > > Hope that helps :) > > KW > > On Wednesday, October 3, 2012 2:43:01 AM UTC+1, Matt wrote: >> >> I too have been pushed into Puppet 3.0.
