FAQ
I am attempting to use Chocolatey ( http://chocolatey.org ) as a package
provider for Puppet, but I continually get this error when running the
Puppet agent on my Win 7 box.

info: Caching catalog for ldap-windows-vm.localdomain
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter provider failed: Invalid package provide
r 'chocolatey' at /etc/puppet/environments/beta/modules/stormaas/manifests/init.
pp:9

I've placed this module, https://github.com/rismoney/puppet-chocolatey, in
my modules/ directory on my Puppet master, I have pluginsync set to true on
both the master and slave - and am already using a few imported types that
are working with the same setup.

Calling the package with:

package { 'stormaas':
ensure => installed,
provider => 'chocolatey',
}

I've tried with both the provider set to 'chocolatey' and chocolatey in
case it was a quotes issue, and restarted both the master and slave on
every change and ran the agent multiple times to ensure it was refreshed.

All other aspects of the module that is being applied to the machine works
- just not this.

It seems there *are* modules being loaded
into C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\puppet\provider , including
this guy which I installed yesterday:
http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/dism , but this is not one of them.

Any thoughts?

    Got it.

    Not sure if this is a bug, if I was placing it in the wrong scope and
    that's just bad practice - but:

    The provider needed to be in ` /etc/puppet/modules ` while I had it in `
    /etc/puppet/environments/beta/modules ` (With the rest of the items in my
    beta environment).

    Would still love to hear input on this though :-)

    Aw, crap. I think we might have an open bug about this somewhere. Had you
    run a puppet agent with pluginsync on the master? I think there's something
    about having the master syncing plugins to its own libdir from an
    environment before it'll serve that to agents. I'm hand-waving most of this
    because I can't find the ticket I'm thinking of.

    Anyhow, if you try that.. can you sync the provider to a windows agent from
    your environment?

    Would still love to hear input on this though :-)
