Hi Justin.
In Puppet Free Open Source [FOSS] the user-contributed module path is:
/etc/puppet/modules/<module name>
In Puppet Enterprise, [PE] the user-contributed module path is:
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/<module name>
Modules need to be provisioned in these directories so that they can be
picked up on a Puppet Agent run.
In your example, user-absent.pp, I note you're not wrapping the resource
with a class definition. This is required, as below:
*class user-absent {*
*user {'katie':*
* ensure => present,*
* }*
*}*
I'd like you to try the following:
[1] Create the module directory user-absent in the appropriate module path,
as per your Puppet version [FOSS/PE]
[2] Ensure you change the name of your file from <module
path>/user-absent/manifests/user-absent.pp to <module
path>/user-absent/manifests/init.pp
[3] Create a class declaration in: <module path>/user-absent/tests/init.pp,
containing:
include user-absent
[4] cd to your module path as above, and run:
puppet apply user-absent/tests/init.pp
You should see the katie user created in the output from puppet apply.
Please advise regarding the results.
Also, you may want to have a look at this guide to writing modules:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/module_guides/bgtm.html
Kind Regards.
David Bryant-Moore.
