Unable to find my puppet module

I'm just trying to get my head around puppet, and decided to get stuck in using a really simple module.

I'm using puppet version 3.6.2

I've used the command 

puppet module generate tsv-tsvversion

It created the following module stub

/etc/puppet/modules/
└── tsv-tsvversion
    ├── manifests
    │   └── init.pp
    ├── metadata.json
    ├── Rakefile
    ├── README.md
    ├── spec
    │   ├── classes
    │   │   └── init_spec.rb
    │   └── spec_helper.rb
    └── tests
        └── init.pp

The init.pp in manifests looks like

class tsvversion {
        group {'test':
                   ensure => present,
              }

        user { 'matt':
                        ensure           => 'present',
                        comment          => 'Matt',
                        gid              => 'test',
                        home             => '/home/matt',
                        password         => '',
                        password_max_age => '-1',
                        password_min_age => '-1',
                        shell            => '/bin/bash',
                        uid              => '2002',
                        managehome       => 'true',
             }
}

My modules seem to be on the modulepath

/etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules

The manifests/site.pp looks like 

node default {

Package {  allow_virtual => false, }

    include 'tsvversion'
}

When I run this on the puppet master

puppet agent --test --verbose

it fails with

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find class tsvversion for puppet.tsvtest on node puppet.tsvtest
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Before posting, i've checked to make sure i'm using lowercase, and no silly characters.

I'm struggling to understand why it fails.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Matt

The root directory of your module must not be named tsv-tsvversion. The author prefix is only intended for metadata that controls behavior on the Forge, and for downloading using puppet module install.

This may not be through any fault of your's, but rather a shortcoming of the puppet module generate subcommand. (This might even be a bug.)

Try and rename or link your module to /etc/puppet/modules/tsvversion. Your practices look sound otherwise.
