undefined method strip

[Elbandi]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 5.4.0
• Ruby: 2.5.1
• Distribution: ubuntu 18.04
• Module version: 2.0.1

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

    include jenkins

What are you seeing

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, undefined method `strip' for []:Array (file: /etc/puppet/code/modules/jenkins/manifests/plugin.pp, line: 115, column: 16) (file: /etc/puppet/code/modules/jenkins/manifests/config.pp, line: 6) on node

What behaviour did you expect instead

install the jenkins

[Elbandi]

possible solution?
default => split(strip($facts['jenkins_plugins']), ','),

[igalic]

do you have puppetlabs/stdlib and the other dependencies installed?

[Elbandi]

There is a etc/puppet/code/modules/stdlib/lib/puppet/parser/functions/strip.rb file.

Other dependencies are exists too, only puppet version is less as requested, but i think it's irrelevant for this line.

[igalic]

the strip function in stdlib exists since 2.3.0: puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib@16eec26
which version do you have installed? and is it picked up in the environment that Jenkins runs in?

[Elbandi]

Oh, my fail :(
there was an another strip function in my puppet, and override the stdlib's strip func. i removed the "pirate" strip.rb file, and now look like it works.

[igalic]

can you tell us which module that came from?

[Elbandi]

it's an own module. we use puppet long time ago, maybe someone wrote that "ghost" strip before we started to stdlib :/

thank you for the explanation!
