Error when installing: Do not leave the Address field blank

[kpaulisse]

I'm trying to use this module to set up nexpose and when I run it I get this message:

Do not leave the Address field blank

The installation fails. Is there a new variable that needs to go into the response file that has not yet made it into the template in this repo?

Hey @kpaulisse

Yep you are correct that a new variable needs to go into the response file, currently looking at what that might be.
Nexpose should still install though, the message you get should only be a warning but not fail the installation. The service might fail to start on the first Puppet run, but another Puppet run should start it successfully. Can you confirm?

[kpaulisse]

The command exits with status 1, which in our tooling causes Puppet to indicate that provisioning has failed.

Poking around a bit, it seems that "consoleAddress" and "sharedSecret" are the two parameters that we need to set in there, but I could not find documentation on what these do. I tried setting consoleAddress to localhost and sharedSecret to kittens which brings up this:

I'm not sure if it's because of an apparent typo in "EngineConsoleTestunuccessful" or more likely if this is because it's trying to test communication between services that haven't been registered yet or started up. Maybe there's a boolean flag that we can set to disable this connectivity test during an unattended install?

[helenes-r7]

Hmm interesting... can you provide the Puppet code? redacting any sensitive info

[kpaulisse]

I just added this to the end of the response.varfile.erb template:

# Undocumented Parameters - Fix/parameterize these when we know what they do
consoleAddress=localhost
sharedSecret=kittens

Hi @helenes-r7
I also encounter same issue with output Do not leave the Address field blank and chef installation exists with code 1(I am using nexpose chef cookbook to install scan engine.)
Do you know what're the variables am I missing?
Thanks!

Hi! I am facing the same issue. Any help with this one?

Hi @rrupesh,

First time I see that error. Can you post the Puppet agent output and possibly the Puppet code you're using to reference the module?

@chunyong-lin
Sorry I hadn't seen your message. It looks like it might be related to @kpaulisse output of "Do not leave the Address field blank". His suggestion of adding the extra undocumented parameters might help. We've just been dealing with it since we normally reboot the system after installing Nexpose (really bad form on my part).
