Hi @pscadiz and @zehzehpeh. Thanks for reporting this error. Is one of you able to provide a patch for this?

[ghost]

@bastelfreak unfortunately I am not able to invest much time in this at the moment. However, I'd be more than happy to test any patch you send my way.

I'd love to see this fixed, but please note that Puppet 3.x is not supported by this module anymore. The issue appears to not be reproducible w/ Puppet 4.x.

Is a Puppet upgrade an option for you at all?

Puppet 3.x is not supported by this module anymore.

Fair enough.

Is a Puppet upgrade an option for you at all?

I am currently trying to confirm the issue is indeed because of Puppet 3.x by testing the same role in Puppet 4.x. If this is confirmed, the PR should be rejected. I will update this ticket and the PR accordingly.

As commented in the PR, it seems the problem is indeed related to Puppet 3 vs 4.

Thanks for the feedback.

Closing this as WONTFIX.
