Issue #8433 has been updated by Justin Honold.
Read all thread comments in more detail, and it looks like a refactor won't be
nearly so bad. Typical layout: import * in init.pp, class foo in foo.pp. As
per Nigel's comments, and since we also happen to be using autoload-compatible
layout, class foo { include foo::foo } in init.pp and class foo::foo in foo.pp
will do the trick.
If I were to guess, I would guess that most people running Puppet aren't using
Gems or staying current, and are using what their distro (or a place like EPEL)
are providing. And I would also guess that, once those go to 2.7.x - if the
import-in-module functionality is still silently deprecated - you may then
receive "a significant set of affected users." But by then, the horse would
have already left the stable. Just saying :)

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

Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1

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.
