ensure=absent seems broken

[docwhat]

Using this code:

mounts { 'Old Collections':
  ensure => absent,
  source => 'nfsserver:/volume/data',
  dest   => '/old/mountpoint',
  type   => 'nfs',
  opts   => 'ro,auto,user,defaults,nofail',
}

I got this error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type notice at /etc/puppet/environments/testing/modules/mounts/manifests/init.pp:75 on node ourserver.example.com

So I commented out the notice("${dest} wasn't removed after... line 75 and tried again and got:

Error: /Stage[main]/OurServer::Testbeds/Mounts[Old Collections]/Fstab[fstab entry for nfsserver:/volume/data to /old/mountpoint as nfs]/Fstab::Augeas[fstab entry for nfsserver:/volume/data to /old/mountpoint as nfs]/Augeas[fstab entry for nfsserver:/volume/data to /old/mountpoint as nfs]: Could not evaluate: Error sending command 'match' with params nil/Unknown command

This second error may be in your fstab module, in which case I can file it against that if you want.

I tried using only the fstab module:

fstab { 'Old Collections':
  ensure => absent,
  source => 'nfsserver:/volume/data',
  dest   => '/old/mountpoint',
  type   => 'nfs',
}

And I got:

Error: /Stage[main]/OurServer::Testbeds/Fstab[Old Collections]/Fstab::Augeas[Old Collections]/Augeas[Old Collections]: Could not evaluate: Error sending command 'match' with params nil/Unknown command

see #4 the in the code notice is not called correct. notice has to be called notice("foo") not ```notice{"foo":}

@docwhat Can you provide verbose debugging output for this? You can email it to me if needed.

Our issue seems similar to this one...

We use this module to mount 4 nfs exports. For the
first time today, we attempted "ensure => absent" and ran into some
issues. We were getting "invalid resource type" errors.

So I looked and saw that you had new versions, so I applied the new
versions as follows:

mounts 0.3.0 -> 0.3.1
fstab 0.5.3 -> 0.5.4
dirtree 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1

That original error went away, but now I've got other issues. Below
are the verbose logs from doing an agent run. I only included the
logs pertaining to 1 of those nfs exports, since the other 3 show the
exact same logs. Hopefully this will help

Same issue on:

using AlexCline-fstab module

Receive a warning and an error when trying to remove a fstab entry

[lth2h]

I get the same error about "sending command 'match' with params nil/Unknown command" I can provide more info if you need.
