puppet apply 'could not find class'

Question

This is a pretty simple problem, and I have read a number of suggested solutions, but I still can't get puppet apply to import the git::config class. Here is my file setup: I import the git module via nodes.pp: ``` #/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp node default { } include git ``` site.pp imports nodes.pp: ``` #/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp import 'nodes.pp' ``` The git module is defined as follows: ``` #/etc/puppet/modules/git/manifests/init.pp class git { include git::install include git::config } class git::install{ package {'git': => present } } ``` and the config file: ``` #/etc/puppet/modules/git/manifests/config.pp define git::config{ [some code here] } ``` When I run puppet apply, puppet does not find the git::config class: ``` sudo puppet apply --modulepath=/etc/puppet/modules /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp Error: Could not find class git::config for xxxx on node xxxx. ``` The original module was puppetlabs-git (same folder structure), but I have recreated the error using the si…

You cannot call `include` on `git::config`. `git::config` is a defined type, not a class. The syntax to use a `defined type` is as follows:

```
git::config { 'the_name_var':
  param1 => 'foo',
  param2 => 'bar'
}
```
