Puppet users - Aug 2010 - custom functions from a module in a different environment

Hey folks,

I have just created a puppet environment called testing by adding the
following to puppet.conf on the puppetmaster:

[testing]
    manifest   = /etc/puppet/testing/manifests/site.pp
    modulepath = /etc/puppet/testing/modules

We are collecting all our customisations into a module, lets say
mymodule, and I''m writing a custom function within that, and it lives
in /etc/puppet/testing/modules/mymodule/lib/puppet/parser/functions/
myfunc.rb

When call that function, on a host in that environment, puppet throws
an error ( Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function myfunc at /etc/puppet/
testing/modules/mymodule/manifests/classes/manifestfile.pp:29 ). If I
copy myfunc.rb to the same location in the live module path, it works.

So, I''m getting the manifests from the testing environment, but the
functions from live :/ The documentation for custom functions says
that the search path for them in $modulepath/<modulename>, and
$modulepath is set correctly in puppet.conf (indeed I''m getting the
correct manifest files). I imagine I''m missing a config file directive
- any pointers?

Thanks

This feature is not supported until 2.6 (and I have seen some issues with
2.6  http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4409) .

I would recommend either:

1. trying your use case with 2.6
2. keep a single copy of your plugins in the puppetmaster''s modulepath.

hope this helps,

Dan

Thanks Dan.

Are people using 0.25.x clients with a 2.6 master in the wild ok? I''m
open to trying 2.6 on the master(s) but maintaining 2.6 agents would
be a bridge too far at this stage.

I''m using 2.6.1rc1 (source from github) for the puppetmaster and 0.25.5
(rpm
from epel) for my clients and haven''t noticed any problems.
