No parameter named 'provider'

[ngeorgieff]

I'm getting "no parameter named 'provider' if I run puppet agent -t but it works if I use puppet apply.
PE 2016.2
RHEL 7

[root@is-engineering-t01 manifests]# puppet agent -t
Notice: Local environment: 'production' doesn't match server specified node environment 'lab', switching agent to 'lab'.

I think the fact that you're using Puppet Enterprise makes a real difference. Gems are not installed in the same manner in Puppet OSS and Enterprise.

Check this out: voxpupuli/puppet-archive#121
And the deletions in the params.pp file here: voxpupuli/puppet-archive@4249200#diff-2f383a197b1a428561b364755701d60e

It works just fine with Puppet OSS:

root@62a78ffc135f:/# export PATH=/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin:$PATH

root@62a78ffc135f:/# puppet module install aco-oracle_java

@ngeorgieff this should be fixed in puppet/archive v1.0.0. Please also update to aco/oracle_java v2.7.0 if possible, to avoid warnings on dependency versions.

Could you please confirm whenever you find the time to test it?

@antoineco Thank you very much for your help. I will update to the latest version.
