Unknown variable collectd_version

[fnoop]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 5.2.0
• Ruby: 2.3.3p222
• Distribution: Ubuntu 17.04 zesty
• Module version: 6.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

class { "collectd":
config_file => $config_file,
plugin_conf_dir => $plugin_conf_dir,
plugin_conf_dir_mode => "755",
purge => true,
recurse => true,
purge_config => true,
minimum_version => '5.7',
manage_package => $manage_package,
manage_repo => $manage_repo,
manage_service => true,
service_name => 'maverick-collectd',
typesdb => [$typesdb],
}

What are you seeing

Error: Evaluation Error: Unknown variable: '::collectd_version'. at /srv/maverick/software/maverick/manifests/puppet-modules/collectd/manifests/init.pp:37:33 on node maverick-ubuntu17

Any additional information you'd like to impart

puppet is being run as a local standalone process (puppet apply), not as client/server. Worked fine with version 5.3.0 of this module

The problem occurs when strict_variables are enabled in the puppetmaster configuration: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.2/configuration.html#strictvariables

When the fact is empty when collectd is not installed (that's the case on the first puppet run with this module) it fails.

Hi @fnoop ,

PR #708 merged yesterday. Can you give a try in your environment?
