 nm. I figured out what I was doing wrong.


What was it Ryan? Is there something we could do to improve the docs here?

 I believe the problem was that I was doing the extlookup() outside of
 any class, and I recently converted my puppet project to a module,
 which I'm running with puppet apply -e 'include ...', which, I
 assume, would only run things inside of classes and not other stuff in
 the manifests where the classes are. Therefore the lookup was never
 being done in the first place, explaining the complete lack of any
 debugging information. I'm still trying to feel my way around how
 things should be organized, and this had to roll around in my head a
 while before I made the connection.


ahah. Yeah, I've actually been thinking about this usability problem
recently.

If you have DSL code outside a class within a .pp file, if you use puppet
apply /path/to/my.pp you only evaluate the code outside the class. If you
use puppet apply -e 'include myclass' you only evaluate the code inside the
class.
