I regularly but randomly get the following error message when I run the puppet client on machines (non-daemonized):
err: Could not create : Parameter path failed: File paths must be fully qualified warning: Not using cache on failed catalog warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: Parameter path failed: File paths must be fully qualified
It seems moderately clear what it means -- that I don't have a fully-qualified path in a parameter. However, it doesn't tell me where I can find this to fix it, or even which parameter is wrong :(
(If I use the debug option it consistently works, so it seems like a problem with the caching of the manifests... It would be nice to get rid of this for production use, still)
Note : I cannot make this happen consistently :/
