Puppet agent cannot download code from Git
I have a puppet master setup on an ubuntu 14.4 VM. Puppet agent like Windows 8.
here is my site.pp file.
package { 'git' :
ensure => present,
}
vcsrepo { "C:\\GitCode":
ensure => present,
provider => git,
source => "git://<url>.git",
}
It will just download the code from the url and put it in C: \ GitCode. I installed the packages git
and vcsrepo
on the master.
I got the following error when starting the agent in windows:
Running Puppet agent on demand ...

So there are several things here. First, git is not installed by puppet. You need to provide a source to install it as the agent is a window. So this means that you will download the git exe installer and place it in your subdirectory of your module files.
package { 'git' :
ensure => present,
source => 'puppet:///{yourmodule}/Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201.exe',
}
Once it correctly installs git on the agent, then vcsrepo will use the correct provider (i.e. - git) and pull the git repository.
