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. In Puppet, the 'include' keyword is used within a node definition or another class to incorporate the resources and logic defined in a class. The term 'isa' is not a valid Puppet language construct for this purpose and will result in a syntax error.

Answer

A. Comments begin with // character and not a #. Puppet uses the '#' character for single-line comments, which is correctly used in the provided configuration.

Answer

B. The colon (:) after /tmp/test.txt should be a semicolon (;). The colon ':' after a resource title like '/tmp/test.txt' is the correct syntax in Puppet resource declarations to separate the title from its attributes.

Answer

C. class, node and file sections require a semicolon (;) at the end of their definitions. Puppet class, node, and resource definitions are typically terminated by curly braces '{}' and do not require a semicolon ';'.
