I see at least two distinct problems:
1. You are structuring your code in a module (which is good), but you
are naming the module directory incorrectly. The name of the module
directory should be the same as the name of the module (sample).
2. You have some class *definitions*, but neither any node blocks nor
any top-level class *declarations*. Your class definitions describe
your classes to Puppet, but you need a declaration to tell Puppet to
actually *apply* those classes to your node. Such a declaration would
typically go in a node block that matches the target node (possibly a
default block), but for standalone Puppet it is also reasonable to put such
a declaration at top scope in a manifest file that you ask Puppet to
evaluate. This is why Puppet neither makes any changes nor reports any
error -- you haven't given it anything to do.
Also, I'm not sure whether this is actually an issue for you, but your
description seems to say that you have made your module directory a direct
subdirectory of the filesystem root. That would be a very questionable
choice. It could work if you have configured Puppet to have the filesystem
root in its module path, but I strongly advise you to create a directory
elsewhere to serve as the parent of all your module directories, and to put
*that* in your module path. Or just use Puppet's default (which depends on
which Puppet version you are running and on how you run it).
