puppetlabbs/firewall on centos 7.2

Question

I'm trying to do this (with Puppet CE 4.3.2 and the puppetlabs/firewall modules from the forge):

 firewall { '110 allow http/https access':
    dport  => [80, 443],
    proto  => tcp,
    action => accept,
  }

When I try to apply this on CentOS 7.2 I get

Warning: Firewall[110 allow http/https access](provider=iptables): Unable to persist firewall rules: Execution of '/usr/libexec/iptables/iptables.init save' returned 1: 

I looked through the bugreports but could only find resolved bugs but it is still not working for me. Anyone who has had any luck with this?

Help appreciated!

Answer 1

The proposed workaround is to install iptables:

 package { 'iptables-services':
    ensure  => installed,
 }

The ticket is closed however is still affects Centos 7.2 https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-1029
