Issue #7788 has been updated by Kelsey Hightower.
With this patch Puppet also supports loading parser functions via gems:
### autoloader-test.pp ###
$port = hiera('port', 8888)
notify {'autoloader test message':
message => "Port: $port"
}
Puppet apply without the `hiera-puppet` gem installed:
$ puppet apply autoloader-test.pp
Error: Unknown function hiera at /workspace/puppet/autoloader-test.pp:1 on
node dev.hightower.org
Error: Unknown function hiera at /workspace/puppet/autoloader-test.pp:1 on
node dev.hightower.org
Now install the `hiera-puppet` gem
$ gem install hiera-puppet
Fetching: hiera-puppet-0.3.0.gem (100%)

Feature #7788: Puppet should allow rubygems to deliver new functionality
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7788#change-65574
Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: plug-ins
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: rubygems autoloader
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/873
It would be desirable to use Rubygems to install things like parser functions.
There might be cases where you only want a function on the master, pluginsync
would copy it everywhere and everywhere might not have the dependencies needed
to run it.
If the autoloader considered the rubygem search path while autoloading this
should allow gems to extend puppet.
