Puppet Error Could not run Could not retrieve facts for xxxxx no implicit conversion of nil into String

Question

puppet apply init.pp

On executing the above command, this is the error that i encounter.

Error: Could not run: Could not retrieve facts for xxxxx: no implicit conversion of nil into String

Just to test I tried changing the init.pp file to an empty file, but the error still persists.

How can i resolve it? Is there any dependency that is should add?

Answer 1

I had the same error and the way that i resolved it is : I completely uninstalled all puppet modules - this fixed the issue for me.

You could probably try doing this, Hope this helps!
