Problem with Foreman upgrade 2.4.1 -> 2.5.3: No Puppet module parser is installed

Problem:

I am upgrading foreman from 2.4.1 to 2.5.3. At step 3C of the installation process, foreman-installer throws an error.

# foreman-installer --noop --verbose

Other relevant data:

Last week I successfully upgraded foreman from version 2.1.4, with the following steps: 2.1.4 → 2.2.3 → 2.3.5 → 2.4.1.

The upgrade 2.4.1 → 2.5.3 is the first one with some troubles.

I tried to execute the following 2 commands

puppet resource package yard provider=puppet_gem
puppet resource package puppet-strings provider=puppet_gem

And now I have a different error on foreman-installer

# foreman-installer --noop --verbose

Thanks in advance for your help!!

This is needed when the parser cache is not in sync with the actual Puppet files. It is checked with file modification times. You can use yum install puppet-agent-puppet-strings if you do need a parser, but I’d advise against that because it’s much slower. It’s only really needed for when you patch your installer manually.

Instead, I’d check why the are out of sync. What’s the output of rpm -qv foreman-installer? Sometimes a yum reinstall foreman-installer can also be sufficient.

Many thanks for your quick reply!

I tried your suggestion, but without success.

Here is what happened

[root@server]# rpm -qv foreman-installer

Can this be due to the 2 commands I executed manually?

puppet resource package yard provider=puppet_gem
puppet resource package puppet-strings provider=puppet_gem

Or is it something else?

Apologies, I meant rpm -qV foreman-installer.

Now that I read the message more carefully, I see it may be something else:

/usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/t/manifests/init.pp

This implies there’s a module named t in your answers file. Have you manually edited that? I wonder what’s in your answers file.

Here is the requested info

# rpm -qV foreman-installer
S.5....T.  c /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-answers.yaml
S.5....T.  c /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-migrations-applied
S.5....T.  c /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman.yaml

I checked the file /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d, it contains

# Format:
# <classname>: false - don't include this class
# <classname>: true - include and use the defaults
# <classname>:
#   <param>: <value> - include and override the default(s)
#
# See params.pp in each class for what options are available

t: 
foreman::plugin::webhooks: false
foreman_proxy::plugin::shellhooks: false

This is weird. Earlier, today, I merged the original file with the one provided by the 2.4.1 rpm. It could be that I made a mistake while copy pasting from my workstation and the remote server with vim.

Fortunately, I had a backup of the file. I recovered it, merged with the one provided by 2.5.3, and now foreman-installer works like a charm.

I also removed puppet-agent-puppet-strings, since you suggested to not use it due to a performance penalty.

Many thanks for your time and help!
