I've done a little bit more digging, and it looks like the variable is
set within a node definition, but not outside it.
site.pp:

nodes.pp:

In my logs, I get:
> puppet-master[3757]: (Scope(Class[main])) testvar outside node is:
> puppet-master[3757]: (Scope(Node[test.puppet.cms.ucar.edu])) testvar
inside node is: TESTVAR_VALUE
If I then attempt to assign the variable in nodes.pp,
but outside of the node definition, I get an error:
nodes.pp:
> $testvar = "TESTVAR_SET_IN_NODES"
> notice("testvar outside node is: ${testvar}")
> node 'test.puppet.cms.ucar.edu' {

Here's the error log entry:
> puppet-master[3754]: (Scope(Class[main])) testvar outside node is:
TESTVAR_SET_IN_NODES
> puppet-master[3754]: Cannot reassign variable testvar at
/usr/local/puppet/dev/site.pp:18 on node test.puppet.cms.ucar.edu
> puppet-master[3754]: Cannot reassign variable testvar at
/usr/local/puppet/dev/site.pp:18 on node test.puppet.cms.ucar.edu
So it looks like there are two different scopes now? In 0.25, I was
setting the variable outside of the node definition; I was using
this to set some path variables. Is this a bug, or was this change
intended?
