Question

What is the syntax error in the following simple Puppet configuration file? class test_class { file { "/tmp/test.txt": mode => 600, owner => root, group => root } } # Define the node node testclient { isa test_class }

Accepted Answer

D. isa should be include. To declare or include a class within a node definition in Puppet, the correct keyword to use is `include` (e.g., `include test_class`), not `isa`, which is not a valid Puppet keyword for this purpose.

Answer

A. Comments begin with // character and not a #. Comments in Puppet correctly begin with a hash symbol (#), as shown in the example, so this is not a syntax error.

Answer

B. The colon (:) after /tmp/test.txt should be a semicolon (;). In Puppet resource declarations, a colon (:) correctly separates the resource title from its attribute list, such as `"/tmp/test.txt":`, so a semicolon (;) would be incorrect here.

Answer

C. class, node and file sections require a semicolon (;) at the end of their definitions. Class, node, and resource definitions in Puppet use curly braces ({}) for block delimitation and do not require semicolons (;) at the end of their definitions.
