Issue #4248 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

The proposed fix for #7316 will ensure an application can require custom facts, 
types, providers, applications, faces and actions from the modulepath or gem, 
and that code can in turn require utility code, also from the modulepath or 
gem. However, the proposed fix won't fix this particular issue, trying to 
require utility code from a function. Also true for report processors. 
Additional changes will be required to the compiler to ensure code does not 
leak across environments, likely fork (but not exec) a child to do the compile.

Feature #4248: Load "library" plugins that are used by multiple puppet 
functions and delivered via pluginsync
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4248#change-78366

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: plumbing
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: autoloader
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.
