Service start is broken on Debian > 8.0

[albustax]

Hello,

On Debian 8.2, (and 8.x globally), catalogue compilation is broken with this message:

Error: /Stage[main]/Consul::Run_service/Service[consul]: Could not evaluate: Could not find init script for 'consul'
Notice: /Stage[main]/Consul::Reload_service/Exec[reload consul service]: Dependency Service[consul] has failures: true
Warning: /Stage[main]/Consul::Reload_service/Exec[reload consul service]: Skipping because of failed dependencies
Notice: /Stage[main]/Consul/Anchor[consul_last]: Dependency Service[consul] has failures: true
Warning: /Stage[main]/Consul/Anchor[consul_last]: Skipping because of failed dependencies

Puppet try to launch the service with init because provideris not set on service declaration

This is a bug with the puppet provider, for more informations, see this bug

2 workarounds are possible:

• Dirty method -> configure service globally

  Service { provider => 'systemd'}

  class { '::consul':
    config_hash => {
      'bootstrap_expect' => 1,
      'data_dir'         => '/opt/consul',
      'datacenter'       => 'eu-west-1',
      'log_level'        => 'INFO',
      'node_name'        => "${::fqdn}",
      'server'           => true,
    }
  }

• Clean method -> change module behaviour

Add a switchcase on service declaration and set providerif necessary.

For informations:

puppet-client version: 3.8.6-1puppetlabs1
puppetmaster version: 3.8.6-1puppetlabs1
debian version: 8.2

Can you make a PR to make it work on the platform you use?
The code hint is probably here:
