versioncmp failing
Closed this issue · 8 comments
I'm trying to get this module setup (I'm on CentOS 8) and I keep getting the following error during runs on the puppetmaster:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'versioncmp' parameter 'a' expects a String value, got Undef (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/acme/manifests/request/handler.pp, line: 188, column: 25) on node REDACTED
Looking at the line in question I'm trying to puzzle out where $openssl_version is supposed to come from as the stated dependencies don't seem to be creating the fact.
Current configuration:
puppetserver 6.12.0
puppet-agent: 6.16
OS: CentOS 8
declared dependencies:
puppetlabs-stdlib: 6.3.0
puppetlabs-concat: 6.2.0
puppetlabs-vcsrepo: 3.1.0
camptocamp-openssl: 1.14.0
Are you sure that you have the required camptocamp-openssl module installed?
It provides the required fact:
https://github.com/camptocamp/puppet-openssl/blob/master/lib/facter/openssl_version.rb
(FWIW, please don't use the master branch of puppet-acme, it contains an increasing number of possibly breaking changes in preparation for release 2.0.)
I've got the camptocamp-openssl module installed (see above) and no, I'm not using the mainline of this module. I'm currently using 1.0.5.
I had even tried to do an include / require of the module to see if that was the problem but it didn't seem to resolve it. I'll look into it further on my side. Since it seems to be an issue with one of my modules for some reason and not yours. I'll just close this.
There are several incompatible openssl modules available on Puppet Forge, so maybe one of your other modules pulls in the wrong openssl module...
It's the only openssl module I've got installed. In fact, camptocamp-openssl is the only openssl module I, or my work has ever used.
I'm not certain what is going on here. I'm checking over our puppet server and it clearly has the openssl fact in the local cache, but it's not setting the variable at all. Other custom facts seem to be working. This tells me that it may be a bug with the fact on CentOS8. Thanks for the pointers. I'll try and figure this out and if needs be raise a bug on camptocamp-openssl
And within just a moment I found the problem the version lookup regex that is being used is too strict and can't cope with the version string that is showing up on CentOS8 for some reason. I'll raise the bug upstream. Thanks again for helping me track this down.
Hah! somone already got a change merged back in March. Just no release since then!
