Description

For example error with puppet-mysql:

info: Loading downloaded plugin /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/mysql.rb
info: Loading downloaded plugin 
/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/parser/functions/mysql_password.rb
info: Loading downloaded plugin /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/mysql_database/mysql.rb
err: Could not load downloaded file /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/mysql_database/mysql.rb: undefined method `provide' for nil:NilClass

err: Could not load downloaded file /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/mysql_grant/mysql.rb: undefined method `provide' for nil:NilClass

err: Could not load downloaded file /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/mysql_user/mysql.rb: undefined method `provide' for nil:NilClass

info: Loading downloaded plugin /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type/mysql_user.rb
info: Loading facts in mysql
info: Loading facts in mysql

Code that fails is

Puppet::Type.type(:mysql_database).provide(:mysql,
                :parent => Puppet::Provider::Package) do

        desc "Use mysql as database."

that is “info: Loading downloaded plugin /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type/mysql_database.rb” which happens after: “info: Loading downloaded plugin /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/mysql_database/mysql.rb”

even though the provider mysql_database needs it defined beforehand.

Attached is a patch to workaround this by loading (on the client side as its there that sort happens) puppet://puppet/plugins/puppet/type before all the others.

Maybe facts should also be up explicitely but right now the default sort ordering place them on the top already (but this is directory layout dependent).

I may not be understanding your point, but it seems a simple “require” statement would do the trick. Would this not suffice?

Which file would i need to require to fix this? I’m running into the same ‘problem’. It’s not really a problem, because everything works as expected, but I’d love to get rid of the error.

Already require'ing ‘puppet/type’, but that doesn’t do it, I’m afraid.

This seems to be fixed by #4416. Please re-open if that’s not the case.
