puppet 3.5 breaks yum module

[anthonysomerset]

since my servers updated to puppet 3.5 overnight i've been getting failed puppet runs with errors like the following

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter baseurl failed on Yumrepo[base]: Must be a valid URL at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/yum/manifests/managed_yumrepo.pp:67
Wrapped exception:
Must be a valid URL

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter mirrorlist failed on Yumrepo[puppetlabs]: Must be a valid URL at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/yum/manifests/managed_yumrepo.pp:67
Wrapped exception:
Must be a valid URL

Yep, there seems to be a bug in 3.5 in the yumrepo resource when using mirrorurl and not baseurl

yep confirmed that https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2150 is the issue, not your module :) not sure what workarounds are possible in the meantime

Just started using this wonderful plugin last week, and suddenly (thu/fri) my servers auto-upgraded and everything broke with the above error. Please let me know if a workaround is found.

Uninstall Puppet 3.5.0 (which should have been removed from PuppetLabs repos) and use an earlier version until a fix is released (check the linked issue for details).
Alternatively do not include the yum module and eventually manage your yum repo files with a file type instead of the yumrepo type.

solved the problem by doing a simple
yum downgrade puppet
