More Puppet adventures

So I wanted to make sure Puppet only supports Ruby 1.8 as I’d seen on a support mailing list. It turns out the main Puppet Supported Platforms page says Puppet 3.5.1 supports Ruby 2.1. Epic win! So I installed it:

First, I need to install the Ruby Version Manager (RVM):

Source code

[root@centos ~]# curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 20511  100 20511    0     0  15003      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:--  770k
Downloading https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/archive/stable.tar.gz
Creating group 'rvm'
 
Installing RVM to /usr/local/rvm/
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/rake': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/bundle': No such file or directory
Installation of RVM in /usr/local/rvm/ is almost complete:
 
  * First you need to add all users that will be using rvm to 'rvm' group,
    and logout - login again, anyone using rvm will be operating with `umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx`.
 
  * To start using RVM you need to run `source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh`
    in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.
 
# Administrator,
#
#   Thank you for using RVM!
#   We sincerely hope that RVM helps to make your life easier and more enjoyable!!!
#
# ~Wayne, Michal & team.
 
In case of problems: http://rvm.io/help and https://twitter.com/rvm_io

So far so good. Next, set it up:

Source code

[root@centos ~]# rvm reload
-bash: rvm: command not found
[root@centos ~]# source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
[root@centos ~]# rvm reload
RVM reloaded!

Okay. Next, install 2.1.0:

Source code

[root@centos ~]# rvm install 2.1.0

Brilliant! Now, test to make sure Puppet 3.5.1 still works nicely:

Uh oh! Not good. Perhaps JSON isn’t installed correctly?

Source code

[root@centos ~]# gem list json
 
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
 
fog-json (1.0.0)
json (1.8.1)
multi_json (1.9.2)
[root@centos ~]# gem update --system

Well it looked like it was installed, but it still installed it again. Anyway, let’s test Puppet again:

Source code

[root@centos ~]# puppet help help help
