HI all,
we''ve been explicity importing modules since we started working with
puppet.
We''d like to start using modules autoloading so I followed:
p://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/modules.html
which only sys that puppet will load all modules under modulepath. Ok, so I
have this modulepath:
modulepath
/etc/puppet/manifests/services/common/modules:/etc/puppet/manifests/services/workernode/modules/:/etc/puppet/manifests/services/tier_2/modules:
...
(Yes, many module paths, but I see no limitation there)
My default node includes common_puppet:
node default {
include common_puppet_conf
}
and the class is under:
# ls /etc/puppet/manifests/services/common/modules
common_bacula common_defaults common_puppet common_snmpd common_ssh
# grep class
/etc/puppet/manifests/services/common/modules/common_puppet/manifests/init.pp
# No dependencies with other classes/modules. We need Linux and Solaris conf
class common_puppet_conf {
So, from my pointof view, puppet should autoload that class, but it
doesn''t:
# puppetd --test --server ser01-test.pic.es
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find class common_puppet_conf at
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:8 on node tditaller019.pic.es
Am I doing something wrong? Cause module autoload seem very easy and
it''s
not working for me...
TIA,
Arnau

Hi Arnau, Your module folder name is called ''common_puppet'' but you''re class is called ''common_puppet_conf''. Option 1, rename the common_puppet class to common_puppet_conf, as according to your grep, the only class inside common_puppet/init.pp is "class common_puppet_conf". The class definition in init.pp of a module should match the name of the module itself so the auto loader can find it. Option 2, move the class declaration of common_puppet_conf out of init.pp and into common_puppet_conf.pp in the same directory, then you should be able to do this (note the use of the namespace common_puppet, which is your module name): include common_puppet::common_puppet_conf You can then have a common_puppet class, which you can have install Puppet software and start Puppet services. Depends on how you want to organise your modules.

I''ll probably do that on next future, by now, I still have to "migrate" some old code to new one... I wouldn''t like to mix 2 king of "modules"... Anyway, your examples are self-explanatory.

It incorporates these examples and tries to restructure the text to be a bit clearer about the what and how of the whole autoloading thing. Luke, I don''t see a CLA for you (but I confess that I am new at the process of checking that, so please forgive me if you have one already and I messed up.) This change isn''t huge, but it would be nice to get a CLA for you – especially because I hope to steal the credit for ^W^W^W^W incorporate more of your really great explanations into future documentation. You do an amazing job of making things like this clear to people, and I just hope my extra text lives up to the same standard. (We would also love it if you sent us changes to the documentation you wrote, hint, hint. ;) You can sign it through our RedMine system at https://projects.puppetlabs.com/contributor_licenses/sign – which requires a login, but we can get you a faxable version if that is a pain. Anyway, thanks so much for making these contributions to the list. They are great!

I like that you''re using different class include notations, my only suggestion is to comment the types of includes you''re doing so people who are unfamiliar with the different methods aren''t confused: #a simple class include, the class name is the same as the module name include puppet => modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp # class puppet { ... #including a class nested in a module''s namespace include puppet::master => modules/puppet/manifests/master.pp # class puppet::master { ... #defines can be done the same way, note the module namespace #in the define''s name. puppet::params { "example": value => ''meow'' } => modules/puppet/manifests/params.pp # define puppet::params ($value) { ... #a class nested several levels deep into a module. #Note the use of the parameterised class syntax makes no difference. class { "puppet::master::awesome": } => modules/puppet/manifests/master/awesome.pp # class puppet::master::awesome { ... Lastly, I actually don''t know what takes precedence over these two manifest paths or what the preferred method is (or if the second one would even work?) so maybe something about that too: modules/puppet/manifests/master.pp modules/puppet/manifests/master/init.pp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
