Running the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows

Up and running with Vagrant, VirtualBox and the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows.

Why?

Running the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows is fairly straightforward, in that the setup process is nearly identical to setup on OSX and Linux.

However, the typical "Vagrant on Windows" caveats apply.

I've attempted to cover the entire setup process here, going from a system with no virtualization tools installed, to a working Vagrant + Oscar + Puppet Debugging Kit environment

# To use this, untar the forge backup tarball from
# http://forge-dl-backup.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ somewhere and
# then run this script, passing the name of the directory where you
# unpacked the tarball.
#
# The script will print the names of the latest version of each tarball;
# you can feed that into something like 'xargs -iF tar xf DIR/F'

• Use curl to get the JSON response for the latest release
• Use grep to find the line containing file URL
• Use cut and tr to extract the URL
• Use wget to download it

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*deb" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \

The OS X version does not require any custom fonts, because it uses the built-in emoji and symbol support in OS X.

The Linux version requires that you install Font Awesome.

This gist contains configuration to make Pry behave a bit better under Puppet Server JRuby.

For debugging, the following might be helpful:

• Install the pry-nav gem. This is an oldschool "debugger" plugin for Pry and one of the first produced. Newer options like pry-debugger orpry-byebug are much, much better but are tightly integrated with CRuby. The pry-nav plugin provides "next", "step" and "continue" and is as dumb as a bag of hammers, but much better than nothing.

Outstanding issues:

• Readline completion is busted under Puppet Server for some unknown reason. It works fine when running Pry under a normal JRuby shell. My guess is that some clojure bit is intercepting the tab characters.
