Failed to parse template ssh/sshd_config.erb (undefined method)

[rfay]

v2.3.1 seems to have a (fatal) problem with sshd_config.erb (or what's being input to it). A casual glance didn't explain it to me.

Error: Failed to parse template ssh/sshd_config.erb:
  Filepath: /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0/ssh/templates/sshd_config.erb
  Line: 3

Do you set any additional options?

[rfay]

Use it like this:

`

sshd configuration

class { 'ssh::server':
storeconfigs_enabled => false,
options => {
'PasswordAuthentication' => 'no',
'PermitRootLogin' => 'no',
},
}
`

I'm experiencing the same issue when using the options. Any updates on this.

[saz]

Can you verify, if this error occurs without setting any additional options?

What version of Puppet have you running?

[saz]

@jgornick Can you post your settings, too?

I'm experiencing the same issue when using the options:

sshd configuration

class { 'ssh::server':
storeconfigs_enabled => false,
options => {
'PasswordAuthentication' => 'yes',
'PermitRootLogin' => 'yes',
},
}
os: Debian 7
Puppet version: 2.7.23 (from apt.puppetlabs.com)

@saz Configuration and details below:

class { 'ssh::server':
    storeconfigs_enabled => false,
    options => {
        'PasswordAuthentication' => 'no',
        'PermitRootLogin' => 'no',
    },
}

OS: Ubuntu 12.04.4
Puppet 3.4.3

Does this error occur with puppet running under ruby 1.8.7?

[jgornick]

@saz I am running ruby 1.8.7 on Ubuntu 12.04.

[gtpuppet2014]

I have the same issue using puppet 2.7 and ruby 1.8.7 on debian wheezy.

[saz]

It seems that this problem only occurs on ruby 1.8.7. I'm not sure, why this is happening but I'll investigate it further and will write a test to make sure it's working on ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9

[saz]

Does this error still occur with the newest release 2.3.3?

[gtpuppet2014]

No, it isn't. Solved for me!

[jgornick]

@saz Do you (want to) officially support ruby 1.8.7.

[saz]

I'm trying to keep the module working on ruby >=1.8.7 with puppet >=2.7

[saz]

FYI: I've improved the spec test, which seems to suggest, that it's working on 1.8.7 again.

[rfay]

This is working great for me now on RHEL 6. Thanks so much, and thanks for all your effort maintaining this (and other) modules.

getting this on Windows client - is the fix a updated Ruby for windows as well?
