Puppet

I was asked to create a ticket for this weeks ago but have been away. Very sorry it took so long.

I’m testing the new environments feature in 0.24.1.

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments

But I am having a problem getting it to recognise the modulepath setting within the environment.

For this example, the environments are called “prod” and “test”.

On the puppetmaster puppet.conf has these entries related to environments:

[main]
        environment = prod
        environments=prod,test
                modulepath = /base/default/modules

[prod]
        modulepath = /base/prod/modules
        manifest = /base/prod/site.pp

[test]
        modulepath = /base/test/modules
        manifest = /base/test/site.pp

My modules are in /base/test/modules and /base/prod/modules for each environment.

If I run puppetd on the client and specify the environment as “prod” or “test”, it will find the correct manifest file but it does not pick up any of the modules.

If set modulepath in the “main"section like this, so that the module path is set to one of the environment’s modulepaths:

[main]
        environment = prod
        environments=prod,test
        modulepath = /base/prod/modules

[prod]
        modulepath = /base/prod/modules
        manifest = /base/prod/site.pp

[test]
        modulepath = /base/test/modules
        manifest = /base/test/site.pp

then puppetd on the client finds the modules in that directory. So it’s as if it is ignoring the modulepath setting in the environment and using the setting in the “main” section.
