Noob trying to get foreman reports working with saltstack

Support
1

I installed foreman via the foreman-installer and
installed ruby-smart-proxy-salt & ruby-foreman-salt using the APT repo on a
stock Debian Wheezy system. I additionally followed the instructions here:
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_salt/wiki

I have one minion that is listed in the ui as having a "skipped" report,
and I am seeing this error :

err /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib] Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve
information from environment production source(s) puppet://fqdn/plugins

('fqdn' represents the fully qualified dns name of the system foreman is
running on)

Any suggestions on what this means and how I can fix this? I've read
through the troubleshooting sections and have come up dry, or maybe I've
just missed something.

thx in advance

some version info: foreman 1.7.1, ruby-foreman-salt
1.1, ruby-smart-proxy-salt 1.0 and saltstack 2014.7.0

Sounds like the host is also registered as a puppet client, this is a
puppet error message indicating pluginsync is enabled on the client but
it couldn't find the right directories for it. Unrelated to salt.

If the host is also a salt minion, then you can confirm the salt reports
are running from the Saltmaster:

salt 'fqdn' state.highstate
upload-salt-reports

You should see the host status change and a new Report from Salt in the
UI.

If you have both salt and puppet enabled on a client, both reports/facts
go to the same place, and the dashboard/host status will show whichever
one reported most recently.
