Jira (PUP-4450) Cannot load 'provider/network_route/routes.rb'

[Josh Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-4450   Re: Cannot load 'provider/network_route/routes.rb' This is a long standing puppet issue, see https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4248. The autoloader can load an environment specific function (or type, provider, report, etc), but the autoloader does not participate in loading its transitive dependencies. So if your function does a "raw" `require some/helper/code`, then ruby can't load it from an environment specific modulepath. The general workaround is to require the helper code relative to the current file being autoloaded, e.g. require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ' /../../path/to/helper/code' This ticket is a little unique because you're trying to load helper code from another module. Usually we see this problem within a single module, e.g. PUP-3513, PUP-4035 Using `dirname` is a bit of a hack. It would be nice if users didn't have to do that.
