Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type redis

Hello. I'm trying to use create_resources() or ensure_resource() with this module and I'm running into issues with resource type 'redis' not found issues. I'm able to instantiate the module using "class { 'redis':}" but not with those two functioned mentioned. Is this a known limitation? Thanks

Could you provide the manifest you're using and a verbose log of what's going wrong?

Arioch,

My manifest looks like this:

class ops::redis::cache (
  $defaults   = 'UNSET',
  $instances = 'UNSET',
) {
  create_resources ('redis', $instances, $defaults)
}

And the resulting error is:

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type redis at /etc/puppet/environments/qa3/modules/ops/manifests/redis/cache.pp:5 on node cache003.qa3.ca3.foo.co
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

The missing type error is confusing because if I change my manifest to:

class ops::redis::cache (
) {
  class { 'redis': 
     package_name => 'ops-redis28',
  }
}

the catalog compiles and executes as expected.

Do you know if I need to wrap the redis class in a define to make create_resources work as expected?

Thank you!
