puppet not recognizing supported modules

Question

When I try to install basic Windows modules (new to puppet) they are not recognized when I try to add their classes to a new group.

When I list the modules I can see them, when I checked the production module path it is in the right place, why can't I see them in the GUI?

Thanks..

In order to make the foreman GUI fetch installed modules, You need a foreman-proxy running with puppet.yml file enabled in it.

Note: I hope you have a working foreman-proxy running with puppet.yml file enabled. If it's not running, please enable puppet in foreman-proxy and configure proxy settings in foreman GUI. That's enough to make the classes visible.

I also pasted my puppet.conf file, just incase if you need.

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
prerun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre
postrun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post
environment=production
reports=log, foreman

[master]
dns_alt_names = yourdomain.com
certname=yourdomain.com
external_nodes=/etc/puppet/node.rb
node_terminus=exec

[agent]
server=yourdomain.com
listen=true

[production]
modulepath=/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules
