Bug #11158: redefinition of built-in ‘settings’ class should give warning or 
error
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11158

Author: Dustin Mitchell
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Joshua Lifton
Category: ext
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: ext lookup
Branch: 


<pre> 
 [root@relabs-slave tmp]# cat site.pp 
 $extlookup_datadir = "xyz"
 $extlookup_precedence = ["local-settings", "default-settings"]

 import "settings.pp"
 [root@relabs-slave tmp]# cat settings.pp 
 class settings {
        $foo = extlookup("bar")
 }
 [root@relabs-slave tmp]# puppet apply --noop site.pp
 warning: Scope(Class[Settings]): Could not look up qualified variable 
'::extlookup_datadir'; class  has not been evaluated
 warning: Scope(Class[Settings]): Could not look up qualified variable 
'::extlookup_precedence'; class  has not been evaluated
 No match found for 'bar' in any data file during extlookup() at 
/root/tmp/settings.pp:2 on node relabs-slave.build.mtv1.mozilla.com
</pre>

The above follows, roughly, the description in 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.8/function.html#extlookup -- but 
doesn't work.

We have found that moving the settings class into a module and explicitly 
including it helps.  This points to a problem of trying to evaluate the 
extlookup too early (at parse time?).
