generate-puppetfile downgrades existing Puppetfile

[vchepkov]

I receive strange results. here is the original file

As you can see it downgrades apache and puppet for some reasons

[rnelson0]

This is usually due to the underlying use of `puppet module install` - some module has a restrictive dependency on the apache and puppet modules. If you can run `grep apache ${pathtomodules}/*/metadata.json`, it may show you where that is coming from.

[djjudas21]

I'm experiencing this too. Any way to work around it?

[djjudas21]

I found that generate-puppetfile downgraded one of my modules from 0.2.4 to 0.1.0. I searched all my metadata.json files as you suggested. Several mentioned this module, most specified >= 0.1.0, one specified >= 0.1.1 but none of them specified a hard dependency or an upper bound. What's going wrong?

[rnelson0]

Can you run the earlier suggest command as well as puppet module list and attach that output please?

[djjudas21]

OK. In my example, running generate-puppetfile downgraded jgazeley/motd from 0.2.4 to 0.1.0. Here's the grep on my puppet server:

[rnelson0]

@vchepkov Are you still seeing this? I do not see a problem now, running from HEAD (which should not have any changes affecting use of PMT):

[rnelson0@build03 puppet-generate-puppetfile:master]$ be generate-puppetfile -p Puppetfile

Installing modules. This may take a few minutes.

There was a problem with the module name 'puppet/r10k'.
  Check that modules exist as under the listed name, and/or your connectivity to the puppet forge.

Here is the PARTIAL Puppetfile that would have been generated.

@djjudas21 I don't have your full Puppetfile, so just chopping it down to the motd module appears to work fine:

If neither of you can replicate, I'll close it out (maybe the forge gave the wrong results?). If you do, provide an updated Puppetfile and I'll re-investigate.

Thanks, and apologies for taking so long to respond on this!

[djjudas21]

Thanks for your response - I'll test after Christmas 👍

[vchepkov]

It was probably caused by some modules, which were since updated. I don't see it anymore

[rnelson0]

@djjudas21 Have you had a chance to test this yet?

[djjudas21]

I tested a newer version of the gem than I had previously, but haven't tested git head. I'll try that now...

[djjudas21]

Oh I see gem 1.0.0 is already the latest. It seems to be doing something different now, and bombing out before it actually gets as far as updating versions.

Both puppetlabs/mysql and jgazeley/nagios exist. I wonder if this might represent transient issues with connectivity to the forge, or response issues internal to the forge. It takes a while, but I will run it again and see if I get different results.

I strongly feel this is an issue with the forge. I know received:

Installing modules. This may take a few minutes.

There was a problem with the module name 'jgazeley/django'.
There was a problem with the module name 'jgazeley/nagios'.
There was a problem with the module name 'puppetlabs/mysql'.
There was a problem with the module name 'puppetlabs/pe_gem'.
There was a problem with the module name 'puppetlabs/puppet_agent'.
There was a problem with the module name 'yelp/netstdlib'.
  Check that modules exist as under the listed name, and/or your connectivity to the puppet forge.

Clearly they exist, but PMT is not able to download them at the time. I will try and talk to Puppet and see if they have an idea. The only way I see this being related to generate-puppetfile is if there's an API threshold that such a large Puppetfile crosses, maybe slowing it down would help.

I opened https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FORGE-408 on this issue. Note that jgazeley/nagios SHOULD fail, as it wants concat >=4.0.0 and other modules want <=2.0.0. The intermittent issues with the other modules are what really concerns me.
