FAQ
I'm running puppet in a local VM to do some testing, and all of our systems
are behind a proxy. I've got the http_proxy environment variable set
properly, but when I try to use puppet module install <foo> it doesn't seem
to honor it and can't connect.

I used wget to download it, but even when I use modulepath it still tries
to connect to the forge and fails.

I've tried:

sudo puppet module install --modulepath . puppetlabs-stdlib-2.3.3.tar.gz
sudo puppet module install --modulepath . puppetlabs/stdlib
sudo puppet module install --modulepath . puppetlabs-stdlib

I consistently get:

Preparing to install into . ...
Downloading from http://forge.puppetlabs.com ...
Error: Network is unreachable - connect(2)
Error: Try 'puppet help module install' for usage

According to the documentaion,

--modulepath MODULEPATH - Which directories to look for modules in
--target-dir DIR | -i DIR - The directory into which modules are
installed.

but it seems to be trying to install FROM the web into the current
directory.

I'm using puppet 2.7.16 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

What do I need to do to either install it from the local source, or install
it manually?

Thank you.

    Please disregard, I dug deeper into the online docs and discovered that I
    had to set this in a config file and not just rely on the env variables.

    My apologies.. I spoke too soon.

    In my puppet.conf, I have:

    http_proxy_host=http://user:password@proxy-address.tld
    http_proxy_port=3128

    The proxy info is correct, as I can use wget and apt etc.

    Thank you for the assistance.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, there looks to be a couple of bugs impacting this.

    One is http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14939 affecting
    --modulepath . and the other is related to but not exactly
    http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/14528.

    These are both bugs on our queue to address. I apologize for the
    inconvenience these bugs are causing, your use case is certainly
    valid. Are you able to curl or wget against the forge.puppetlabs.com?
    At this point, the module tool wants to examine the Forge for
    dependencies though you can try the --ignore-dependencies flag to skip
    that step.

    I'm looking into this more closely, will attempt to mimic your setup
    and get back to you when I have more information.

    I'm glad to know it wasn't just something stupid on my part.

    Yes, I am able to wget to the forge, and have already downloaded a copy of
    the module I was trying to install.

    I tried using the --ignore dependencies flag, as well as changing my '.' to
    `pwd`, but still got the network error.

    sudo puppet module install --ignore-dependencies --modulepath `pwd`

    Downloading from http://forge.puppetlabs.com ...
    Error: Error: Could not connect to http://forge.puppetlabs.com
    There was a network communications problem
    Check your network connection and try again

    Since I have the tarball, is there a way I can a) get a list of deps and
    b) manually install them? Do I just unpack into /usr/share/puppet/modules ?

    I won't get a chance to replicate your situation and test further
    until this weekend. Apologies.

    Yes. In the meantime, you can just untar the file and move it into
    your module path. You'll need to rename the unpacked folder to match
    the actual module name (ex. puppetlabs-stdlib becomes just stdlib).
    There should be a Modulefile inside the stdlib folder which describes
    the other module dependancies (if any). puppetlabs-stdlib does not
    have dependancies on other modules.

    Thanks for providing your proxy information from puppet.conf. Is your
    system otherwise configured for using a proxy?

    Good to know, so I can at least move forward.

    system otherwise configured for using a proxy?
    Yes, I have http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables
    set, and also the needed config changes for apt-get, and I am able to wget
    or curl to wherever ( I had actually already used wget to fetch the tarball
    from the forge).

    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help with this.

    I have the files unpacked in /etc/puppet/modules/stdlib as was indicated.
    The documentation mentions I can do a puppet doc -r function.

    When I try 'puppet doc -r validate_string' I get 'Could not run: Could not
    find reference validate_string'

    Am I missing something, or doing something wrong?

    "function" is meant literally, not as a substitution for the function
    you're looking for.

    I usually do something like: `puppet doc -r function | less` then
    search for the function I'm looking for.
