Issue #12923 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Needs Decision to Rejected

James has it right. Import isn't an area we're investing in, and there's a 
reasonably simple workaround here.

Set the 'manifest' directive per-environment in puppet.conf, and then you can 
do relative imports based upon the environment.

As of the next release of Puppet import will be deprecated, and the most 
frictionless way to work is going to be to use modules with the autoloader 
(which occurs per-environment.

Bug #12923: $environment doesn't work with import
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12923#change-56062

Author: Nathan Campi
Status: Rejected
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: environments
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Create a site.pp like this:

<pre>
notify { 'environment_notify':
        message => "NOTICE: This system is being configured with the 
environment ${environment}."
}

import "environments/$environment/nodes/*.pp"
</pre>

You'll get your environment in the notification, but then you'll get an error 
from the import like:

<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could 
not parse for environment production: Syntax error at 'environments/' at 
/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:27 on node foobar
</pre>

Puppet version 2.6.4 on client and server. It's entirely appropriate, IMHO, for 
puppet to be able to interpolate the $environment var on an import line.

Thanks.
