Puppet 3.5 fatal error about puppet-rsyslog HOT 10 CLOSED

Which version of this module is it?

from puppet-rsyslog.

Getting the same issue on 2.4.0 and master.
This is with the following enabled on the client

    trusted_node_data = true
    stringify_facts = true
    parser = future
    strict_variables = true

Without the above I get the following

Stderr from the command:

Error: Failed to parse template rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.erb:
  Filepath: /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0/rsyslog/templates/rsyslog.conf.erb
  Line: 7
  Detail: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
 on node solr.localdomain

  Line: 7

 on node solr.localdomain

This seems to be because of strict_variables being enabled more than anything else (it never tries to render the template as the values being empty trigger the strict variables error).

Please give v3.1.0 a try and report, if the problem still exists.

I'm running into the same issue with Puppet 3.5.x. I was able to get around it by making several modifications to the manifests.

For example, in config.pp, I added a parameter for modules. I also had to change the custom_config parameter in client.pp to ''.

I was able to get this module working after those changes, but I don't know why these issues appeared after upgrading to 3.5.x.

This should be fixed in master.

from puppet-rsyslog.

This problem is caused by parser = future a puppet.conf setting

Any chance to push this fixed version to forge.puppetlabs.com?

from puppet-rsyslog.

Right, it's caused by the future parser, but can also be fixed by setting evaluator = current while keeping the future parser on.

from puppet-rsyslog.

unfortunately evaluator = current doesn't help, have received the following error:

Error: Failed to parse template rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.erb:
