you'll (probably) simply need dynamic environments. Read this:

With dynamic environments, you can create multiple independent environments
based on the git branches of your git repos. Or at least use a $environment
variable-based path instead of a static one.

I hope that is at least approximately the answer for you question.


Hth,

[Puppet Users] A coding question about PE

[Peter Berghold]

Hi there.  I find myself working for a company that is using PE and for the
last umteen years I've used the FOSS version.

That said I have a question that probably the answer to would apply to both
PE and FOSS.

I am creating a module for the sake of another module (if that makes sense)
that will self populate its files subdirectory with packages for
installation.  (puppetlabs-splunk)   What I'd like to know is if there is a
programatic way either in pure Puppet manifest code or through a custom
function for a Puppet module to be "self aware" enough to know the full
path of where it is installed?

For instance if I put this module in the development environment I'd like
it to know it should store files in
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/development/modules//files.  In
the UAT environment same thing only substitute "uat" for "developement" in
the path.

Gotta think there's a way to do this.
