Puppet Error when trying to use many manifests

0 votes

I have written a module to setup a web server.I'm actually trying to apply multiple manifests.How can i use additional manifests in init.pp using the puppet apply command?

kp/manifests/init.pp:

class kp {
    include kp::testfile
}
include kp

kp/manifests/testfile.pp (additional manifest) 

define kp::testfile {
    $value = template("kp/some.erb")
    file { 'testfile':
        path    => '/tmp/my.txt',
        ensure  => file,
        content => $value
    }
}

As  per the Documentation i have tried to define a class in the module and declared that class by name in my manifest but when I run puppet apply init.pp I am getting error message

Could not find class kp::testfile for myhost.com at /myDir/puppetModules/kp/manifests/init.pp:2 on node vagrant.example.com

/myDir/puppetModules/ is in modulepath but where am i going wrong?

Your kp::testfile is a defined type, not a class. To use a defined type you need to declare it like:

kp::testfile { 'name': }

Try redefining kp::testfile like

class kp::testfile {
    $value = template("kp/some.erb")
    file { 'testfile':
        path    => '/tmp/my.txt',
        ensure  => file,
        content => $value
    }
}

This should work!
