Issue #4248 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
A correction on what Eric said: `lib/` subdirectories of modules DO NOT get added to $: in the Puppet 3.0.0 release. There was some experimentation with this that hacked the `Kernel.require` method much like Rubygems does, but that was not put in because of the issue of environments and a threaded environment. At the moment our only threaded environment (that I know of) is in webrick, if we can change webrick to not using threads, then that greatly mitigates some of the problems involved in this. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4248: Load "library" plugins that are used by multiple puppet functions and delivered via pluginsync https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4248#change-71686 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: plumbing Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: Because we do not add all module lib directories to Ruby's search path, ruby classes that exist only in the modules (because they have not yet been synced via pluginsync) cannot be found. The autoloader correctly loads files from the modules, but ruby itself can't load supporting classes. Old description: At present we can copy parser functions, types and providers out with plugins sync, this works fine. It seems though we cannot copy out Puppet::Util::* classes - useful for code accessed by various parser functions for example. I need to do something like: <pre> require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../util/foo.rb' </pre> from a parser function since: <pre> require 'puppet/util/foo' </pre> doesnt work. I am also keen to be able to copy out new application classes that will tie into the puppet single executable thing, i guess these 2 features might be in the same realm. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
