Try running the following command in foreman directory:

export RAILS_ENV=production rake puppet:import:puppet_classes

ah… I think that foreman does not expand the $confdir var, try putting
there the full path and see if it works.

if it does, please open a ticket :slight_smile:

I would also run puppet --genconfig > /tmp/a and see if the values are
sensible. They will probably not be right if you are not root. I have a
workaround that I use for non-root testing and that is to place symlinks in
~/.puppet that point to /etc/puppet/…

Problems were detected during the evaluation phase

Please fix these issues and try again

maybe I should provide some settings
confdir=/etc/puppet
[devel]
manifest=$confdir/manifests/site.pp
modulepath=$confdir/devel/modules

Also ,i set the module_path in Foreman /etc/puppet .
