Foreman » Smart Proxy

.each requires `parser = future` configured, is that enabled in the puppet.conf?

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/experiments_future.html#enabling-the-future-parser

Also `parser = future` needs to be in the [master] section not [main] for Foreman, that's due to #5522.

I had this option enabled before installing Foreman on my test Puppet. Foreman replaced Puppet configuration and the value was not there anymore.

But if I put `parser = future` in [main], my class won't appear but worst, Foreman wants to remove all my classes !

production Remove: apache, ...

You should have read `parser = future` in [*master*] ofc.

I'm also seeing an issue whereby the foreman_proxy fails to import classes if they have 'future parser' code within.

ENV: CentOS 6.5
Puppet: 3.6.2
Foreman: 1.5.1

Error:
Error while parsing /path/to/init.pp: Could not match |$key, at line 404

Line 404 in init.pp:
each($foreman_api::servers) |$key, $value| {

My current workaround is to create a blank module, run the foreman classes import, then update the module to contain my future parsed code.

Oh and yes, I have parser = future in the main and master sections of puppet.conf

Upon further investigation, it seems to be a problem with determining which parser to use when it reads from puppet.conf, it doesn't discover that I'm using parser = future and continues to use the old parser. It may be something specific to my environment, but if I set eparser = true in the ruby code, it succeeds to import the class correctly.

I can't replicate the issue with Puppet 3.8.1: if the "parser" setting in puppet.conf is set to "future", modules containing future-parser compatible syntax get loaded and parsed as expected.
