server.properties never created?

[aaronjbaptiste]

Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but the following doesn't work (Debian 7):

class { 'minecraft': 
    heap_size => 512,
    heap_start => 256,
}

minecraft::server_prop { 
    'motd':         value => 'Hello World'
}

Error:

/Stage[main]//Minecraft::Server_prop[motd]/File_line[motd]: Could not evaluate: No such file or directory - /opt/minecraft/server.properties

What version of stdlib are you using? I'm trying to figure out if this is a behavior changed in stdlib or if this has just always been broken.

This is something else addressed in #5, though, so we might just fix it in the code regardless.

version 4.1.0. Great, i'll keep an eye out for those changes.

Check your version of Puppet too. I was seeing this too on 2.7, but the problem went away when I upgraded to 3.x. No change made to stdlib -- also using 4.1.0. Perhaps that version does not fully work with Puppet 2.7.

I installed puppet like this to get a working version:

wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
sudo dpgk -i puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install puppet

If that works for you too, then perhaps this issue could be closed (or converted to a documentation issue)

Puppet is version 3.3.1. I'll try installing as you suggested and see if that fixes it.

As a side note, i'm currently working around this by:

file { '/opt/minecraft/server.properties':
    ensure  => file,
    owner   => 'mcserver',
    group   => 'mcserver',
    mode    => '0664',
    require => User['mcserver'],
}
