Jira (PUP-1515) Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers

[Charlie Sharpsteen (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Charlie Sharpsteen commented on an issue   Re: Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers So, what is happening here is that the Autoloader isn't switching environments correctly. When the Vcsrepo type is loaded, a call of this form is used: typeloader.load(name, Puppet.lookup(:current_environment)) Where the typeloader is an Autoloader instance. In this case, we explicitly pass the current environment that the master is compiling for. Once the type is loaded, we then load all known providers for that type: klass.providerloader.loadall Where providerloader is another Autoloader instance. Note that no environment is passed to this call. Because no environment is passed, there are two places where nil gets used instead. This causes the Autoloader to search Puppet[:environment] instead of the current_environment. So, to summarize: when the Puppet master loads a Type, it searches the environment that the agent requested. When it loads providers for that type, it searches the default environment instead of the one the agent requested. Andy Parker: This is a different issue from PUP-731 and one that we could fix. Handing back to you to decide if this should be scheduled for a release. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1515 Invalid parameter provider for custom types/providers In Puppet 3 I am getting an error on all definitions for custom types.

This is potentially a very major bug. Please let me know how I can help so you're ...
