Currently the modules I used "import" on where laid out like so..

    $modulepath/foo/manifests/init.pp
    $modulepath/foo/manifets/classes/bar.pp
    
So is the correct way to structure the directory for autoloading is to put all 
the class and definition files in manifests/.  and not in subdirectories, or is 
subdirectories like "classes" and "definitions' acceptable?

Bug #8433: Seemingly random failures after 2.7.1 
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8433

Author: Gustavo Soares
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: modules
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I've noticed a weird behaviour after trying puppet (gem) 2.7.1. I am planning 
an (huge)
upgrade (from 0.25.x to 2.7.1) in all my puppet's boxes...

I've installed puppet's 2.7.1 gem and got a lot of "Could not find
class" problem... and everything worked just fine with 0.25.x.

So, I decided to uninstall the gem for version 2.7.1 and install
puppet version 2.6.9.

Everything worked just fine... no weird "Could not find class"
problem...

Here are some more info about my environment:

* I do not use parameterized classes and all my classes are "included" (I was 
still using 0.25.x...)
* In my $confdir/manifests/classes/roles I have a very generic class for all 
puppet hosts declared as follow:

<pre>
class role_puppet_common {
        $role = "puppet_common"
        include common
        include puppet::common
        include puppet::user
}
</pre>

in $confdir/manifests/site.pp I have the following line...

<pre>
[...]

import "classes/roles/*"

[...]
</pre>


the weird "Could not find class" problem occurs for class puppet::common

my directory structure is as follow:

<pre>
...
$confdir/modules/puppet/
$confdir/modules/puppet/manifests
$confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp
$confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/
$confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/common.pp
...
</pre>

in $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp  I have:

<pre>
import "puppet/classes/*"
</pre>

and in $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/common.pp

<pre>
class puppet::common {

...

}
</pre>

* my modulepath declared in puppet.conf is as follow: 

<pre>
modulepath      = /mnt/puppet/conf/modules:/mnt/puppet/othermodules
</pre>

where /mnt/puppet/conf is set to $confdir.

That's it!

As I said before, when I downgraded to version 2.6.9 everything worked fine.
