Puppet users - Nov 2011 - Puppet Loads My Class File But Says It Can't Find My Class

I''m a new Puppet user, and I''m trying to get the hang of
importing
modules. Right now however, I seem to be having problems auto-loading
the classes in my modules.

Here''s my command and error:

    vagrant@lucid32:~$ cd /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/
    vagrant@lucid32:/tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests$ puppet apply --
verbose --debug --modulepath ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0''
lucid32.pp
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
init.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
classes/postfix.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
classes/postfix-mailman.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
classes/postfix-mta.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
classes/postfix-satellite.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
definitions/virtual.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
definitions/transport.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
definitions/config.pp'' in environment production
    debug: importing ''/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/postfix/manifests/
definitions/hash.pp'' in environment production
    Could not find class postfix for lucid32 at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/
manifests/lucid32.pp:1 on node lucid32

To me, it *really* looks like Puppet is able to fing my `postfix.pp`
file, but then it tells me that it can''t find my postfix class.

I''m using the camptocamp postfix module (which is available here:
https://github.com/camptocamp/puppet-postfix).
Here''s the contents of the relevant files:

postfix/manifests/init.pp:

    import "classes/*.pp"
    import "definitions/*.pp"

`postfix.pp` contains a non-parameterized postfix class.

Here''s the contents of my lucid32.pp file:

   include postfix

Here''s the folder structure:

    /tmp/vagrant-puppet/
    |
    |__manifests/
    |  |
    |  |__lucid32.pp
    |
    |__modules-0/
       |
       |__postfix
          |
          |__files/
          |
          |__manifests/
          |  |
          |  |__init.pp
          |  |
          |  |__classes/
          |     |
          |     |__postfix.pp
          |
          |__README
          |
          |__templates/

Does anyone know what I''m doing wrong?

Also, here''s some things I have tried:

* The original name of the camptocamp postfix module was puppet-
postfix
  and I was having the same problem. I changed the name of the folder
to
  "postfix" to match the name of the class, but as you can see that
  didn''t help.
* I tried including "postfix::postfix", but I got the same results.

Thanks in advance!

You are probably hitting this issue:

The correct way to do this is to use the Puppet autoloader.  To do
this.

Replace your init.pp with your postfix.pp file.
