Puppet users - Jul 2008 - Different defaults behaviour in module when imported and autoloaded

Hello,

I ran into a little issue here with defaults in a module. Basically, I  
have a File {} statement for a module that I put before the first  
class and I expected it to be the default for the whole module. When  
importing it, it all works well, but when the module is autoloaded,  
the File {} statement is ignored.

Was this done by design, and if so why, or should I consider it a bug?

Thanks

Felix Schäfer

I don''t know if it was done by design or not, but it is definitely
what I would expect; autoloading happens per-class. You are going to
want to set your defaults within the class { } block.

Hmm? I was under the impression that the autoload for $namespace::$classname 
tries to load $namespace/manifests/init.pp from the modulepath and if the 
name is still undefined, continues to try $namespace/manifests/$classname.pp, 
again on the modulepath.

The only thing I could find on the wiki is 
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AutoloadingModules
which is a "bit" vague.

Hrm. Now I''m less sure and think perhaps I should refer to the code...
