Puppet vRO Plugin 1.0 to 2.0 upgrade gotcha

I have been working with the new Puppet Plugin in my lab and I found the new workflows failing as they were referencing modules in the old 1.0 plugin. The workflows throw an error like Cannot find function escapeShellArgument in object Module:com.puppet.o11n.plugin.puppet

Edit the (Install PE Agent on Linux with SSH) workflow and see the following problem in the script. That is referencing the new plugin but something went wrong with the install.

You have 2 options to resolve this issue

Quick and dirty would be to just modify the scripts in the workflows to point to the old module com.vmware.o11n.plugin.puppet.node (I tried this first but had more problems)
Clean method, remove the puppet plugin and reinstall. Remove instructions here install instructions here.

Ryan,
Sorry you’re having issues installing the 2.0 over the 1.0. We’ll update our instructions to indicate that the 1.0 plugin must be removed prior to installing 2.0. Here’s the script that I use to uninstall whatever version of the Puppet plugin you have installed and start fresh.
