Issue #13682 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
Hrm. Feels to me like this is the wrong direction to approach this from. The problem is that we have trouble if the gem is installed and RubyGems are active, right? Much better that we push people to do the right thing, which is uninstall the gem now they have the real deal installed. That can be checked by using the gem system to figure out if the problem code is installed; that requires: <pre> def gem_available?(name) Gem::Specification.find_by_name(name) rescue Gem::LoadError false rescue Gem.available?(name) end </pre> ...and then you can cleanly and politely fail instead. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13682: Puppet should not conflict with released puppet-module Gem https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13682#change-60945 Author: Jeff McCune Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: compatibility Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12 Keywords: constants ARTIFACTS puppet-module REPOSITORY_URL namespace Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/641 # Overview # The current behavior of Puppet 2.7.x (2.7.12-99-g8ceaaf0) declares some constants which conflicts with the already released puppet-module gem. Since the released gem requires Puppet, they fight with each other over these constants. # Impact data # All module authors are affected by this since they will need to do a knife-edge cut over from the existing module tool to Puppet 2.7.12, _or_ choose not to upgrade Puppet beyond 2.7.10. # Steps to reproduce # Use the existing puppet-module gem to build a package with Puppet 2.7.x. These conflicts become evident: <pre> /vagrant/src/puppet/lib/puppet/module_tool.rb:14: warning: already initialized constant ARTIFACTS /vagrant/src/puppet/lib/puppet/module_tool.rb:16: warning: already initialized constant REPOSITORY_URL </pre> I should be able to fix this quickly, so I'm assigning it to myself. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
