source parameter not working

[StFS]

Hi.

I'm very new to Puppet and the example42 modules and I'm trying to get things to work but I'm having some issues.

I have a site.pp file (see below) which defines the source parameter for the puppet class but when I run this I get an error stating "Error: Failed to apply catalog: You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target"

After asking for help I added the template => '' parameter and I've also tried template => undef but both of these have no effect.

As you can see I have also been trying to get source_dir to work but that has its own problems which I'll report in a separate bug. However, it may be of interest that specifying source_dir alone does not work but adding the template => undef does work to some extent in that case.

My site.pp file:

class base_nopuppet {
  include openssh
  class { 'sudo':
    source => [ "puppet:///modules/data/sudo/sudo.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/data/sudo/sudo.conf" ],
  }
  class { 'mailx':
    source => [ "puppet:///modules/data/mailx/mailx.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/data/mailx/mailx.conf" ],
  }
}

class base {
  include base_nopuppet
  class { 'puppet':
    source => "puppet:///modules/data/puppet/puppet.conf",
    #source_dir => 'puppet:///modules/data/puppet/conf/',
    #source_dir_purge => false,
    template => '',
  }
}

node default {
  include base
}

node 'puppet.cs.ru.is' {
  include base_nopuppet

  class { 'puppet':
    mode => 'server',
    source => "puppet:///modules/data/puppet/puppet.conf",
    #source_dir => 'puppet:///modules/data/puppet/puppet.conf',
    #source_dir_purge => false,                                               
    template => '',                                                          
  }
}

Thanks for the report, actually the Puppet module was a "special" case in the template management.
45c8e34 allows you to (really) disable the template usage with the parameter:

template => absent,

Wow... talk about a quick response :)

Things are now working with the source parameter. Thanks!
