Hi Henrik, thanks for helping.
I didn't have a "metadata.json" so I created one with "puppet module
generate". Unfortunately, it is still not working - puppet apply is showing
the same error: "Expected parameter 'windowspath_param' of
'Class[Mymodule::Mymanifest]' to have type Stdlib::Windowspath, got String".
{
"name": "almg-mymodule",
"version": "0.1.0",
"author": "almg",
"summary": "Test module.",
"license": "Apache-2.0",
"source": "",
"project_page": null,
"issues_url": null,
"dependencies": [
{"name":"puppetlabs-stdlib","version_requirement":">= 4.14.0"}
]
}
