Yeah, even when a provider is specified it'll check the others to see if they would work. I'm not certain why that is done, but may not be needed. However, I dont' think it is causing the problem. Are you certain that the pkg_test.rb file is available in the load path when you are running puppet? One way to find out if it is looking at the right files is to break the pkg.rb provider and see if your command breaks. This will tell you if it is loading the code you think it is. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
