"pdk convert" and "pdk new module" fails on OSX Sierra

[natemccurdy]

PDK: 1.3.0
OS: OSX Sierra 10.12

When doing a pdk convert in an existing module or when creating a new module, I get the following error:

pdk (ERROR):
pdk (ERROR): fatal: ambiguous argument '1.3.0': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

pdk (FATAL): Unable to set git repository '/var/folders/ss/b33hxsf54bx0rbg0gqjd1yr40000gq/T/pdk-templates20171219-99977-154j6im' to ref:'1.3.0'.

The git repo at that path in /var/folders has a remote that points to:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk-module-template

That repo does not have a tag for 1.3.0.

Seems like that template repo should be https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk-templates instead

[natemccurdy]

The culprit was ~/.pdk/cache/answers.json that contained the old templates repo URL. Deleting that json file fixed the problem.

But, an upgrade to 1.3.0 from an older version should handle that more cleanly.

Thanks for the help @scotje !

Created https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDK-736 to track a more complete fix for this.

Looks like this is resolved in #397

I'll close this ticket. Thanks!
