Failed to list puppet environments: Failed to query Puppet find environments API (400): The environment must be purely alphanumeric, not 'v2.0'

I am getting the following error:

ERROR -- : Failed to list puppet environments: Failed to query Puppet find environments API (400): The environment must be purely alphanumeric, not 'v2.0'

The reason for the error is described in: http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/ERF12-2749

Resolution Suggested: Ensure you have foreman-proxy 1.5.2 or higher when using Puppet 3.6+ and directory environments ("environmentpath" setting).

Topology of my environment

--- Puppet Master with Foreman on IP1

Puppet 3.7.5, foreman-1.8.2-1.el6.noarch, ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13 revision 48407) [x86_64-linux]

--- Puppet Master with Foreman Proxy on IP2 which connects to IP1

Puppet 3.7.5, foreman-proxy-1.7.5-1.el6.noarch and ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13 revision 48407) [x86_64-linux]

Both puppet masters are configured to have directory environment path the same way. I am able to import classes from IP1 where foreman also resides. But not from IP2 where only foreman-proxy is installed.

I am able to see IP2 registered to IP1.

Trying to import puppet classes from IP2 from foreman sitting on IP1 is throwing the above error.

Command tried from IP1 to list puppet environments of IP2: (This is to replicate the error I am getting in foreman from CLI)

curl -vs \
  --key /var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/ip2.dns.com.pem \
  --cacert /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem \
  --cert /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ip2-dns.com.pem  \
  https://ip2-dns.com:8443/puppet/environments

Error reported in ip2 proxy logs:

Error While Importing classes in foreman:

If you feel this is an error with Foreman itself, please open a new issue with Foreman ticketing system, You would probably need to attach the Full trace and relevant log entries.

Solution

  • http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/11780

    Seems the issue is the installation had both puppet package and puppet gem. Puppet package was of version 2.7.x and puppet gem was of version 3.7.x

    I will have to get this corrected.
