install_solr_service doesn't have -n option anymore

[Rob Bos]

Installing solr via puppet on a fresh VM just now, first attempt, just with class { ‘solr’: }. I’ve never done this before but I’m pretty sure this shouldn’t happen.

also it downloaded solr-6.2.0 in /opt/solr_downloads, that doesn’t sound right, since the latest version is 8.11.1

[Rob Bos]

The manifests/init.pp specifies 6.2.0 by default. I specified version => ‘8.11.1’ and it seems to work.

I’ll leave the issue open because “installs a broken version by default” should probably still be considered a bug.

[Michael Speth]

Thank you. I will look into this.

[Michael Speth]

Thank you for your report. I have set the default version of Solr to 6.6.6 (versions earlier than 6.3.0 do not have the -n installation option). If you want to use a version without the -n option, you can set the ‘install_options’ parameter to an empty string.

So the following would work.

class{'solr':
  install_options => ''
}

These changes have been applied in the master branch of the git repo and deployed to the forge.

Resolved in version 6.0.12.
