Yes, this is why we've decided to recommend the vendor name in addition to the module as part of the convention described in #14149. With the pluginsync we have today, we need both the vendor name and the module name to disambiguate common file names like `lib/puppet/util.rb` mapping to "Puppet::Util". ---------------------------------------- Bug #15300: Pluginsync collisions https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15300#change-69871 Author: Ben Ford Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: plug-ins Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: pluginsync Branch: I had a problem come up in training last week involving synced facts that brought out a larger problem in pluginsync. So if I create a module 'one' and define a fact in it called 'myfact', then create a module 'two' and also define a fact there called 'myfact' they will collide. The fact in 'two' will win because it comes later in the directory globbing. But worse is that they will be continuously fighting. On an agent run you can see this fact being overwritten to 'one/myfact' and then 'two/myfact' every single time. This is horrible for usability because it's not clear which fact will be called, and it's a terrible waste of bandwidth, etc. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
