Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7142 Make autoloader recognize types declared in TypeSets. Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/01/30 7:05 AM Fix Versions: PUP 5.0.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Thomas Hallgren A Pcore TypeSet can, as it name suggests, declare a set of types. All types in such a set have names that are prefixed with the name of the TypeSet. At present, the auto-loader will find a TypeSet by name (since it's a type in its own right), but it will not find the types that it declare. A TypeSet should be able to declare types that live in the module namespace, i.e. where the name of the TypeSet is actually the name of the module. Example: type Mod = TypeSet[{ pcore_version => '1.0.0', version => '1.0.0', types => { Xyz => String[1] } }] defines the type Mod::Xyz (when found in module 'mod'). Questions that need answers are: 1. Where would the .pp file containing this TypeSet reside and what should it be named? 2. Can the version in such a TypeSet be optional (given that what it declares is in the module root)? 3. Is the module root TypeSet mutually exclusive to other types declared under the types directory? 4. Should it be possible for a module to declare several typesets? If so, how do we differ the "root" set that uses the module name as it's name, from other sets? Can we simply decide that the set using that name automatically gets propagated and thereby forbid namespaces that start with the module name twice, i.e. Mod::Mod::Xyz?
