Hi Michael,

The configuration rules are transformed by Rudder into CFEngine 
promises. During the deployment part, there is a check on the syntax of 
the generated promises, with cf-promises. When the message contains "the 
generated promises are invalid", it means cf-promises complained about 
the generated promises.

The reasons can be :
- Improper escaping of quotes : if you use " in your entries, you have 
to escape them with : \"
- Apply on the same node two Policy Instance based on different version 
of the same Policy Template (for instance, on Policy Instance based on 
template version 1, and one based on template version 1.1).

I hope it will help

Best regards,
Nicolas
