ignoreip in custom jails not populating

[harisuseki]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 4.10.12
• Ruby: 2.1.0 (included with puppet)
• Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04
• Module version: 2.4.1

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Add the line ignoreip: ['127.0.0.1', '192.168.1.1/24'] for your custom jail as per documentation

What are you seeing

in my custom jail, I get the following line for ignoreip:
ignoreip =

What behaviour did you expect instead

I expected to see ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1/24 in my custom jail config file

Any additional information you'd like to impart

If I modify templates/common/custom_jail.conf.epp and change the following line (line 25 for me) from:
ignoreip = <% $ignoreip.join(' ') -%>
to:
ignoreip = <%= $ignoreip.join(' ') -%>

Then the ignoreip in my custom jail populates correctly.

I think the problem is in how you configure your fail2ban . My main problem is that i can't find the template.

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find template 'fail2ban/xenial/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.epp' at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/fail2ban/manifests/init.pp:67:26 on node

That's an interesting idea, although I have had no errors regarding the module finding any templates. Also, as soon as I change the assignment variable in the custom jail template to include the '=' (ignoreip = <%= $ignoreip.join(' ') -%>), the values are retrieved from the yaml and joined and populated correctly.
