Issue #17156 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Status changed from Accepted to Rejected
Target version deleted (3.x)

Nick F and I spoke about this, and we agreed that the overriding goal should be 
that `puppet doc` should document what you've `puppet module install`ed when 
running as root or not. And that is the current behavior in 3.0.0 and up.

Bug #17156: Regression: Can't restrict the plugins loaded by puppet doc with 
--modulepath in 3.0.1
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17156#change-78960

Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1
Keywords: regression settings
Branch: 


The docs team uses `puppet doc --reference` to generate certain docs for the 
site, and we have to use `--modulepath /tmp/nothing` or something to exclude 
non-core resource types and functions from our personal modules. This worked 
through 3.0.0 and broke in 3.0.1. 

The changed behavior:

* In 3.0.0, puppet doc would ONLY load plugins from the modulepath; the 
contents of the agent's libdir had no effect, and changing the modulepath 
swapped out the entire set of plugins available.
* In 3.0.1, puppet doc loads plugins from both the modulepath AND the libdir. 
So if puppet agent has ever run, puppet doc will keep loading plugins until you 
delete the libdir. 

Git bisect tracks the change to commit:144bb76a7e825a221fd1cb5a20728c8cf5c03264 
-- "(#16637) Fix default confdir and vardir with puppet master as normal user." 

The command to test this with is `puppet doc --reference function --modulepath 
/tmp/nothing` -- make sure you have something like puppetlabs-stdlib in your 
modulepath when testing, so that the function reference gets nice and messy.
