Puppet users - Aug 2008 - when using multiple environments puppetmaster does not find files in modules

Hello list,

Just want to clarify if I make something wrong here or if I hit a bug  
with modules & environments.

The following situation - a puppetmaster with three environments defined:

* prod,  modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/prod
* test,  modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/test
* devel, modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/devel

There is now the module "module1". In its files-directory there is one
file called "testfile". This file is only available in the  
devel-environment. Test & prod have not got it right now. So its exact  
position in the filesytem is:

/srv/puppet-modules/devel/module1/files/testfile

This module1 uses a manifest that wants to distribute this file by the  
following:

file { "/tmp/testfile":
    source => ["puppet:///module1/testfile"],
    ensure => present,
    owner => root,
    group => root,
}

Also this modification to the manifest is only present in the  
devel-environment - test & prod do not know about it yet.
"testfile"
contains a simple unix-timestamp.

Now I''m are going to run puppetd manually with:

sudo puppetd --test --splaylimit 0 --environment devel

but it fails with:

warning: //Node[lnx-vie-430]/module1/File[/testfile]/ensure: No  
specified sources exist

If I put "testfile" into the "module1" files-directory
within the
prod-environment too, but leave the manifest in prod untouched, it  
works - puppetmaster finds the file while we still query  
environment=devel.

There is another puppetmaster running on a different port too which  
does not use environments at all, but is configured to:

modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/devel

A manual puppetd run against this other puppetmaster works with:

sudo puppetd --test --splaylimit 0 --masterport xxxx

It finds the testfile in the "devel-environment" immediately.


I suspect that this puppetmaster with environments only looks into the  
prod-environment (it''s the first one defined in puppet.conf) while
I''m
asking it to serve from devel.

Strangely enough it works with templates - they got addressed within  
the environment correctly.

puppetmaster & puppet client are both at 0.24.4.

Regards,
Andreas

Have you looked to see whether this was a filed bug that was closed in  
0.24.5, or maybe is a filed bug that''s still not closed?

I don''t specifically remember a bug in this area, but if it''s
clearly
not working for you and it hasn''t been filed, it should be.

This is strange as I have things working well with both files and
templates in modules using environments. My first though is that maybe
you do not have environments set quite right. As a side note you do
not need to use splaylimit with --test. Puppetd --test is  an
immediate run of puppetd. Can you post teh puppetmaster and puppetd
puppet.conf files?

Hi Evan,

You are right, it seems to be not more necessary. I remember it
was in past but it looks like that it has been fixed in the meantime.
But I''m a creature of habit :-)
> Can you post teh puppetmaster and puppetd puppet.conf files?
Sure, here is puppetmaster.conf:

[main]
   ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
   logdir=/var/log/puppet
   environments=prod,test,devel

[prod]
   modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/prod
[test]
   modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/test
[devel]
   modulepath=/srv/puppet-modules/devel

[puppetmasterd]
   autosign=true


And here the lines of a puppet.conf:

[main]
  logdir=/var/log/puppet
  vardir=/var/lib/puppet
  rundir=/var/run

[puppetd]
  server=our.puppet.server
  listen=true
  factsync = true
  syslogfacility = local3
  splay=true
  environments=prod,test,devel

Cheers,
Andreas
