I'm wondering the same thing. We are seeing errors when running `puppet
module` commands that query for dependencies.
I'm using the `derdanne-nfs` example below, but this error happens with at
least 3 other community modules, including `thewired-bitbucket` and
`puppet-mysql_java_connector`.
I was unable to install certain new Puppet modules until I worked around
this issue.
Puppet is complaining about missing dependencies, which is confusing
because the dependencies are already there:
$ puppet --version
3.8.4
$ puppet module list >/dev/null
Warning: Missing dependency 'puppetlabs-concat':
'derdanne-nfs' (v0.0.7) requires 'puppetlabs-concat' (>= 1.1.2)
Warning: Missing dependency 'puppetlabs-stdlib':
'derdanne-nfs' (v0.0.7) requires 'puppetlabs-stdlib' (>= 4.5.0)
$
But the Puppetlabs Concat and Stdlib modules already exist and are at the
proper version:
$ puppet module list |grep puppetlabs
??? puppetlabs-concat (v1.2.3)
??? puppetlabs-inifile (v1.4.2)
??? puppetlabs-pe_gem (v0.1.2)
??? puppetlabs-stdlib (v4.9.0)
$
Inside of nfs/metadata.json , I see that the dependencies are named like
'author-module', like this:
"dependencies": [
{"name":"puppetlabs-stdlib","version_requirement":">= 4.5.0"},
{"name":"puppetlabs-concat","version_requirement":">= 1.1.2"}
]
If I modify the strings 'puppetlabs-stdlib' and 'puppetlabs-concact' and
replace dashes with slashes:
"dependencies": [
{"name":"puppetlabs/stdlib","version_requirement":">= 4.5.0"},
{"name":"puppetlabs/concat","version_requirement":">= 1.1.2"}
]
The command doesn't throw any errors:
$ puppet module list >/dev/null
$
Should metadata.json be specifying module names using hyphens or slashes? I
see that the following docs recommend using dashes, not slashes:
-
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_publishing.html#another-note-on-module-names
But again, I've seen a few bugfixes which did the opposite, and resolved
the error by switching from dashes to slashes. Here's one such bug:
- https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3121
If dashes are correct, then why is `puppet module` complaining about the
derdanne-nfs module and other community modules? I'm a little curious why
this problem isn't more widely reported.
Thanks for the help,
