Puppet

Puppet::Face sign() is too strict with the options: When called though Cloud provisioner init(), Puppet needs install_script, keyfile, login, node_group options for the install() and classify(), but then when Puppet::Face[:certificate, ‘0.0.1’].sign(certname, opts) in cloudpack.rb around line 500 is called, it complains because it is given too many attributes.

Someone mentionned somewhere on the web that it has been broken between Puppet 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. On my side, it works with RPMs 2.7.1 but fails with 2.7.3 and 2.7.5

I temporarily work around the problem by adding some opts.delete statements

# HACK: This should be reconciled with the Certificate Face.
opts = options.merge(:ca_location => :remote)

# AF:
opts.delete(:install_script)
opts.delete(:keyfile)
opts.delete(:login)
opts.delete(:node_group)

# TODO: Wait for C.S.R.?

Puppet.notice "Signing certificate ..."
begin
    Puppet::Face[:certificate, '0.0.1'].sign(certname, opts)
