      Describe your issue in as much detail as possible...

      Desired Behavior: To create a WebSphere instance using the example from the puppetforge home.

      Actual Behavior: Error: Failed to apply catalog: no implicit conversion of nil into String

      Please take a moment and attach any relevant log output and/or manifests. This will help us immensely when troubleshooting the issue.

      Following the Installation dependencies section of the readme I've set up the following script.

      # == Class profile::websphere_base
      #
      # This profile is for installing WebSphere
      ##
      class profile::websphere_base {  file { [
          '/opt/log',
          '/opt/log/websphere',
          '/opt/log/websphere/appserverlogs',
          '/opt/log/websphere/applogs',
          '/opt/log/websphere/wasmgmtlogs',
        ]:
          ensure => 'directory',
          owner  => 'webadmin',
          group  => 'webadmins',
        }  
       
      class { 'websphere_application_server':
          user     => 'webadmin',
          group    => 'webadmins',
          base_dir => '/opt/IBM',
        }  
       
      websphere_application_server::instance { 'WebSphere85':
          target       => '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer',
          package      => 'com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85',
          version      => '8.5.5000.20130514_1044',
          profile_base => '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles',
          repository   => '/vagrant/provisioning/WASND_v8/repository.config',
        }
      }
      

      The installation has been unzipped at the repository location and the repository.config is readable.

      Output from the puppet run:

      [root@websphere-tri-d1 etc]# puppet apply --modulepath=/vagrant/modules -e "include profile::websphere_base" --trace

      I've been fighting with this for the past two days to no avail. The error is solidly in the websphere_application_server::instance defined type. If I comment it out I no longer have errors.
