Bug #22219: Class Scope Gotcha
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22219
* Author: Dirk Elmendorf
* Status: Unreviewed
* Priority: Normal

----------------------------------------
Summary: When you include a class inside a class and they have similar names
then the new class does not get included.
Steps to Reproduce:
<pre>
class zamboni {
notice("Class zamboni included")
}
class role::zamboni {
notice("Class role::zamboni included")
include zamboni
}
class role::server {
notice("Class role::server included")
include role::zamboni
}
</pre>
Expected Results:
Should include role::server,role::zamboni,:zamboni
Actual Results:
role::server and role::zamboni are included. role::zamboni believes that the
include zamboni is referring to itself so it does not include the class
zamboni. It still seems like there should be a warning since it doesn't really
make sense that I would include a class in itself.
Workaround:
If I include ::zamboni in role::zamboni it doesn't get confused.
Notes: I used zamboni to make it clear what is going on. I discovered the issue
when I was working with the role::database::mysql & mysql
The mysql module is from the Puppet forge.
