now on the puppet master make the yum directory a symlink
[root@centos5-64 modules]# mv yum my_other_folder
[root@centos5-64 modules]# ls
apache_yum documentation my_other_folder yummirror
[root@centos5-64 modules]# ln -s my_other_folder yum
[root@centos5-64 modules]# ls
apache_yum documentation my_other_folder yum yummirror

Now use a symlink that is outside the module path instead
[root@centos5-64 modules]# mv my_other_folder/ /root
[root@centos5-64 modules]# ln -sf /root/my_other_folder yum

Bug #11014: Puppet Master uanble to find module if the directory is a symlink
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11014
Author: Michael Stahnke
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper
Category: server
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords:
Branch:
During development of a module, I had a git checkout in my home directory and
symlinked it into /etc/puppet/modules. Then I classified the output via
dashboard. I found that Puppet Master would not find the class/module since
the module was a symlink.
I searched other tickets and didn't see this already filed, but it very well
could be. Testing on 2.7.6.
