I'm bashing my head against a wall trying to get a template function to work on a file resource using types module. I am running Open Source Puppet 7.9 as part of Satellite 6.13. My heira code is;

types::file:
/path/to/my/file:
ensure: present
owner: root
content: template('mymodule/myfile.erb')

The generated file does not contain myfile.erb instead it contains the string; "template('mymodule/myfile.erb')"

Hello,

I'm running Opensource Puppet Server 7.4.2 and Puppet clients 7.16 on RHEL 8.6

I'm loading a bunch of modules like puppet-archive and puppet-rhsm. They provide some types (archive and rh_repo) I have defined calling them in hiera like so;

types::archive:
/tmp/somezipfile.zip:
ensure: 'present'

Yet they get completely ignored no error messages nothing. Yet other types such as puppetlabs-stdlib which provides file_line work perfectly well using the same format. I can't figure out how why this is? Since the type work if I put them in a puppet manifest and call that as class I figure it must be an issue with types not picking up the declaration?

types::file:
/tmp/testfile:
ensure: file
content: |
--testing

The above code will create a nuke file /tmp/testfile. However, the following code will create a file with the content 'testing':
types::file:
/tmp/testfile:
ensure: file
content: |
testing

This only happen in Puppet Enterprise, but not satellite. However, I cannot recreate the problem with the following .pp code:
file { '/tmp/testfile':
content => '--testing',
}

It will create a file with --testing as its content, even though there is no newline at the end of the file.

The following code will also create a null file:
types::file:
/tmp/testfile:
ensure: file
content: '--testing'

The following code will do the same thing:
types::file:
/tmp/testfile:
ensure: file
mode: '0444'
owner: 'root'
group: 'root'
content: |
-%{'nullvar'}-testing

Is there a workaround? Can you specify it in hex?

I tried to use tpyes to create resources from defined types utilizing the python module:

classes:
  - types
  - python

types:types:
  - 'python::pip'

types::file:
  '/home/debian/HELLOWORLD':
    ensure: 'file'

types::python::pip:
  'tabulate':
    ensure: 'present'
    pip_provider: 'pip3'
    pkgname: 'tabulate'

the types::file example works fine
the types::python::pip example does not work. There is no error when applying, it's just being ignored. -> The pip package is not being installed

I do not understand what I did wrong and would greatly appreciate help on this issue :)
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am trying to get the official apache module working with your types module.
What I´ve done in Hiera:

types::types:
  - 'apache'
  - 'apache::vhost'

types::apache:
    service_ensure: 'stopped'


types::apache::vhost:
  'user.example.com':
    port: '80'
    docroot: '/var/www/test'

The apache::vhost part is working fine. I just cannot get the "apache" part to work.
Here is the error I am getting:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Expected value of type Hash, got String (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/types/manifests/type.pp, line: 15, column: 23) (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/types/manifests/init.pp, line: 39) on node server1.com
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Can you please help me out?

As shown with current master (96fee8e):

[tore:~/types] master ± puppet parser validate plans/hiera.pp

Puppet package/version is puppet-5.5.20-2.fc33.noarch (which is supported if https://forge.puppet.com/modules/southalc/types is to be believed).
