Bug #5226: Ambiguous "Cannot find definition Class at..."
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5226

Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Low

Keywords: Cannot find definition Class
Branch:
Hi -
Given a sniplet of code inside a class that checks for the existence of a class:
<pre>
if (!defined(Class["postfix::smtprelay"])) {
include "postfix"
}
</pre>
One would see the following in logs:
<pre>
Nov 8 09:41:24 puppet01 puppet-master[19166]: Cannot find definition Class at
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:264 on node
search01.vmserver08.test.az.domain.local
</pre>
A couple of thoughts come to mind:
1) Should this even be reported? Is programmatic logic something that should
always be displayed? Granted, the class is clearly not found because its not
defined, but that would still be considered normal behavior.
2) Even if it is to be included, it should be less ambiguous. Although one can
easily find and then (correctly) assume what the warning is about given this
information, it does take time.
Thanks!
