[Puppet Users] A substring operation does not accept a String as a charachter index

[Andoreasu]

Hello together,

we change from Puppet 3 to Puppet 4. In some of our Modules, we get Error
message while the node is retrieving the catalog from the master server.

It always said:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER:
Serve
r Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement,
Evaluati
on Error: A substring operation does not accept a String as a character
index. E
xpected an Integer at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/development/modules/
inst
all_oracle12cdriver/manifests/init.pp:6:19 on node testnode01.testdomain.de
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Its hears a little bit likes this, but i dont see a solution...
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6480

A module where this happens for example:

class install_oracle12cdriver{

package { 'oracle12cdriver':
ensure => installed,
provider => 'chocolatey',
require => file['c:/Oracle', 'c:/Oracle/client.rsp'],
source => 'http://choco01/chocorepo/chocolatey/',
}

file { 'c:/Oracle/client.rsp':
source => 'puppet:///modules/install_oracle12cdriver/client.rsp',
source_permissions => ignore,
}

file { 'c:/Oracle':
ensure => 'directory',
source_permissions => ignore,
}
}


Does anyone know what i can do? Its totaly strange to me. In Puppet 3
everything works fine.

Thanks for any help

best regards

I think it should be File[] (capital F) rather than file[] on line 6

classinstall_oracle12cdriver{
ensure=>installed,
provider =>'chocolatey',
require=>file['c:/Oracle','c:/Oracle/client.rsp'],

File['c:/Oracle','c:/Oracle/client.rsp'] (captial F). What you have
there now means the same as:
"file"['c:/Oracle','c:/Oracle/client.rsp'] which is a failed attempt to
get one or more characters out of the string "file" - i.e. you can do
"file"[2,2] to get the substring "il".

So, you are getting an error since the index to get substring from a
string requires one or two integers and you have a file path there.

Hope that helps.
