Thanks for the feedback about Gepetto, James.
I tried to start using it last year, and learning to use that tool went
sideways on me. I have written shell scripts for the past 20+ years,
but I don't really write programs anymore (in C, C++, Fortran or even
Pascal); so I think I first need to learn how to write a module without
it to get down the basics. Afterwards, I can then maybe figure out how
to get Gepetto to actually work with a VMware instance of Puppet running
in my Windows PC, and also somehow figure out how to get the Git hooks
into place as well.
Anyway, thanks again. I have more questions about the module I am
writing (this process is truly evolving my understanding), so I will be
posting another separate thread about that next.

Warron,
Thank you for the the praise.
Geppetto is fine. I used it 2014 & part of 2015. Some people may
disagree, but I found that it (by way of Eclipse) was quite heavy
weight and used lots of CPU and RAM in my workstation. With Geppetto
it was amazing to get all my modules in one place and have it report
static code analysis errors and warnings across all the modules so
that we could fix up our whole codebase. Though that functionality is
available outside of Geppetto via puppet-lint[1] by running it across
all the modules.
When the atom editor[2] came out with version 1.0, I started using
that for about half of my puppet coding with add-on packages for
puppet syntax and linting provided[3]. The other half is done in Vim[4]
If you need additional choice of editing tools, checkout the
front-page of the forge[5] and ask questions here on puppet-users list
or on Ask Puppet[6].

James

James, you are awesome! Thank you. I wrote my first module, I am
calling it sidedoor, as opposed to backdoor; and it for the
purpose of enabling the creation of accounts on systems to work
around NSS (LDAP, AD, NIS, Samba, etc...) service outage and have
never written one from scratch before. I have to learn to write
code "in a real world" setting now instead of the Learning VM
where things don't break, but they don't do anything at all either.
So, while I am at home sick this week, I have been taking
advantage of the opportunity to write a module, test it with
puppet apply --noop, and then commit the module (this last step
you helped me with). This link did help me.
Unfortunately, I think my prior instance of PE -2015.2 was totally
busted for some reason - not sure why, so I had to rebuild from
scratch.
By the way, do you know how to use the Gepetto IDE for writing
Puppet Modules?
Thanks again, that link helped me to at least get the module
recognized; now at least next time I know to look for updating the
cache of the Puppet Master to the web interface - and waiting for
3 minutes.

I have personal experience with PE 2015.2 thus I knew what to
look for, so I think this will help you.
https://docs.puppet.com/pe/2015.2/console_classes_groups.html#adding-classes-to-a-node-group
and search the page for the word refresh.
I found this by doing a google search on: puppet enterprise
console refresh
and then chose the 2015.2 documentation on the docs.puppet.com
<http://docs.puppet.com> website.
I recommend reading all the documentation once. Yes it eats up
a ton of time and you might not make immediate progress with
Puppet Enterprise, but the docs cover important foundation
info so much that your familiarity with the docs will
eventually make you speed up.

James

Another question...
I have rebuilt my Puppetmaster (as some of you
already know), and
copied into place a module I wrote into -
*/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules.*
*
*
However, when I go into the Puppet Admin Console, into the
Classification tab. When I try to "pull up" my module to
classify my nodes; the module name doesn't show up in the
list.
How do I make the module show up in the list? Did I miss
a step?
