Could not find template 'fail2ban/stretch/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.erb'

Good day

It looks like templates are renamed to epp, but then you get

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/stretch/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.erb' (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/fail2ban/manifests/init.pp, line: 44, column: 26) on node REMOVED

Hi @brentclark, thanks for raising this bug. Can you provide a PR for this?

[jreitmayer]

This is still an issue. Any word on how to fix it?

[jreitmayer]

make sure you add mod 'puppet-extlib', '3.0.0' to your puppet file to fix this.

Is not working, some update about this issue?

same here. On a local run I get:

Error: /Stage[main]/Fail2ban::Config/File[fail2ban.dir]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment dev source(s) puppet:///modules/fail2ban/stretch/etc/fail2ban

as to the tip by @jreitmayer, adding puppet-extlib, now at 3.1.0 does not help (debian stretch)

I am using code straight from the docs:

class { 'fail2ban':
package_ensure => 'latest',
config_dir_source => "puppet:///modules/fail2ban/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/fail2ban",
}

Which version of this module do you use? This issue should have been solved by #79.

[dhoppe]

The problem should be solved, because the pull request #135 has removed the use of LSB facts.
