Issue #3091 has been updated by Paul Tötterman.

Sure.

First I had something like this, and it was working:
<pre>
node foo {
    include bar

    package { 'baz': ensure => present }
}
</pre>

Then I was going to expand the stuff a lot and decided to put it in a class to 
keep my site.pp simple:

(partial) site.pp:
<pre>
node foo {
    include foo
}
</pre>

modules/foo/manifests/init.pp:
<pre>
class foo {
    include bar

    package { 'baz': ensure => present }

    file { '/foo/bar/baz':
        ensure => present,
        source => 'puppet:///foo/baz',
    }
}
</pre>

I realized that the additions to the class compared to the node definition were 
not being applied. I reset a few things and confirmed that only the default 
node catalog was being applied.

After trying to restart puppetmaster, puppetd, purging configurations from both 
etc. I tried to rename the node -block in site.pp:

(partial) site.pp:
<pre>
node foo.example.com {
    include foo
}
</pre>

And it started working.

I don't know if this is intended behaviour or not, but I'd like to see better 
error messages and documentation if it is.

Bug #3091: Node and class name collision leads to confusion
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3091

Author: Paul Tötterman
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Paul Tötterman
Category: language
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords: node class language
Branch: 


I had a node with quite lot of specific changes, so when I started needing 
files etc. I made it into a module with a class that was named the same as the 
nodes short hostname. Then I added stuff to the class that was never in the 
node and started wondering why Puppet never applied those changes. When I 
changed the node definition to match the fqdn, it started working. So is this a 
bug? Or should documentation be better? Or should there be an error while 
compiling the catalogue?
