Puppet Could not find declared class - puppet

I'm seeing the following error on puppet agent run:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Could not find declared class ::nagios::server at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/site/role/manifests/nagios.pp:2:2 on node mynode.something.co.uk
i have a nagios module which has a server manifest

The issue was with metadata.json file, when I ran:
puppet config print modulepath --section master --environment production
I got the message:
Error: No dependencies module metadata provided for nagios
So I added empty array to metadata.json:
"dependencies": []

Puppet7 agent can't find catalog from server

I'm learning Puppet now. Everything is new to me... After installed a puppet7 server and agent on my two learning VMs--
192.168.160.131 puppet-mst.eisen #The puppet server
192.168.160.140 sles12.eisen #The puppet agent
And I've successfully signed the node "sles12.eisen" to the server "puppet-mst.eisen" --
[root#puppet-mst manifests]# puppetserver --version
puppetserver version: 7.4.1
[root#puppet-mst manifests]# puppetserver ca list --all
Signed Certificates:
puppet-mst.eisen (SHA256) 0B:3F:DA:60:2F:2D:D3:91:94:58:E2:B6:32:28:50:8E:D4:1C:A0:8F:A0:CF:94:99:6E:EE:99:46:B4:1D:30:58 alt names: ["DNS:puppet-mst.eisen"] authorization extensions: [pp_cli_auth: true]

Then I wrote a testing module --filetest1, and hope it can put a file to the agent node in /tmp/puppettest --
[root#puppet-mst manifests]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/filetest1/manifests/init.pp
class filetest1{
file {'/tmp/puppettest/filetest1':
ensure => file,
content => 'Hello World!',
}
}
[root#puppet-mst manifests]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp
node 'sles12.eisen'{
include filetest1
}
But the "puppet agent --test" can't work, it's said it either server can't find agent node, or the test module's catalog is missing --
sles12:/tmp/puppettest # puppet --version
7.12.0
sles12:/tmp/puppettest # hostname -f
sles12.eisen
sles12:/tmp/puppettest # puppet agent --test --verbose

I don't know what's wrong here. Please kind help. Thanks

The error message suggests that you have configured Puppet to use an external node classifier (/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node.rb), and either the attempt to execute it is failing altogether, or it is terminating with a failure status, or it is not outputting anything.
You may want to explore ENCs later, but now is probably not the time for that. To disable use of an ENC, edit /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf and either remove the node_terminus setting or change its value to plain.

Error while running Puppet Agent using class in node default

I am getting error while executing puppet script
on Puppet master site.pp file I wrote following code
node default {
class t {
package {'apache2':
ensure => installed,
}
}
}
On Slave machine when i execute it using puppet agent --test, it throws the error:
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Could not parse for environment production: Classes, definitions, and nodes may only appear at toplevel or inside other classes (file: /etc/puppet/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp, line: 3, column: 1) on node slave.ec2.internal
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
Can you please help me in this regard
Hi this is because you are not supposed to define classes inside site.pp
Have a module foo (as I prefer foo for examples instead of t) defined like this:
#modules/foo/manifests/init.pp
class foo {
package {'apache2':
ensure => installed,
}
}
and you have a node entry in your site.pp like this
# site.pp
node default {
include 'foo'
}

Unable to call nested custom module - "Could not find class" error

I have created a custom module and i would like to keep it within a sub-directory (category) because there are several components that should logically fall under that category. So to segregate things in a better way, i created the following structure.
- hieradata
- manifests
- modules
- infra
- git
- files
- manifests
- init.pp
- install.pp
- configure.pp
- monitoring
- etc
- templates
$ cat modules/infra/git/manifests/init.pp
class infra::git {}
$ cat modules/infra/git/manifests/install.pp
class infra::git::install {
file { 'Install Git':
...
...
}
}
$ cat manifests/site.pp
node abc.com {
include infra::git::install
}
Now on the puppet agent, when i try puppet agent -t, i get the following error:
ruby 2.1.8p440 (2015-12-16 revision 53160) [x64-mingw32]
C:\puppet agent -t
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: {"message":"Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find class ::infra::git::install for abc.com at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:15:2 on node abc.com","issue_kind":"RUNTIME_ERROR"}
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
I have already read this link but that suggests keeping custom module directly under main modules directory, which is not how i would like to structure the directories.
Any help will really be appreciated.

Puppet enterprise error while running "puppet agent -t" commnad, unable to get User/Group data from hieara

I have Puppet enterprise installed on my VM, running in Virtualbox.
The installation went fine, but when I try to run the command puppet agent -t I get the following error:
[root#puppetmaster ~]# puppet agent -t
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find data item role in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:32:10 on node puppetmaster.localdomain
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
Here is my site.pp file line where the error is coming from;
## site.pp ##
# This file (/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp) is the main entry point
# used when an agent connects to a master and asks for an updated configuration.
#
# Global objects like filebuckets and resource defaults should go in this file,
# as should the default node definition. (The default node can be omitted
# if you use the console and don't define any other nodes in site.pp. See
# http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on
# node definitions.)
## Active Configurations ##
# Disable filebucket by default for all File resources:
#http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/release_notes.html#filebucket-resource-no-longer-created-by-default
File { backup => false }
# DEFAULT NODE
# Node definitions in this file are merged with node data from the console. See
# http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on
# node definitions.
# The default node definition matches any node lacking a more specific node
# definition. If there are no other nodes in this file, classes declared here
# will be included in every node's catalog, *in addition* to any classes
# specified in the console for that node.
node default {
# This is where you can declare classes for all nodes.
# Example:
# class { 'my_class': }
$role = hiera('role')
$location = hiera('location')
notify{"in the top level site.pp : role is '${role}', location is '${location}'": }
include "::roles::${role}"
}
If you look at the error, it can't find the hiera key that you've asked for in your site.pp:
Could not find data item role in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:32:10 on node puppetmaster.localdomain
In your code, you have the following:
$role = hiera('role')
$location = hiera('location')
Both of these are hiera calls, that require that hiera is setup and that the relevant key is in a hieradata folder.
A useful tool to help you diagnose hiera issues is hiera_explain, which shows you how your hiera hierarchy is setup and configured, and might help explain what the issue is with your code.

How to enable site.pp in Puppet server?

It displays:
Error: Could not parse application options: invalid option: /etc/puppet/manifests/test.pp
When I sent a file from server to client in puppet 3.8.4. How to fix it?
