At the moment,
(a) "piecewise" is only set up for piecewise polynomials,
(b) the "integrate" command is "integral".
So, for your function (which is piecewise polynomial), this should
work:
sage: f1a = lambda x: -x+1; f1b = lambda x: x+1
sage: f2a = lambda x : -(x - 2) - 1; f2b = lambda x : (x - 2) - 1
sage: tri_wave = piecewise([ [(-1,0), f1a], [(0,1),f1b], [(1,2), f2a],
[(2,3),f2b]])
sage: tri_wave.integral()

I have no idea what that error means. It is (if you look at the piecewise.py
code) clear that integral is a method for the class PiecewisePolynomial and that
tri_wave is an instance of that class. Indeed, tri_wave.[tab] gives
you the methods
allowed:
sage: tri_wave.

I have no idea if this is another bug or what. Once I understand this,
hopefully I can fix the
first bug.
