Issue #14073 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Status changed from Investigating to Duplicate
This issue has two parts. The ability for `puppet apply` to autoload a module, and have that module require utility code. This will be fixed in #7316. The second part is autoloading modules on Windows. In 2.7.x, you used to have to specify the module path using forward slashes (#11930). This was fixed in 2.7.x in f9a6337 . Then improvements were made to the autoloader in 3.0.0 to canonicalize paths on Windows correctly in de8ade81a. Since this issue is about autoloaded modules requiring utility code, I am closing this as a duplicate of #7316. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14073: puppet apply cannot find types in modules on Windows https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14073#change-78466 Author: Jeff McCune Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Patrick Carlisle Category: modules Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.4 Keywords: autoloader windows module load_path LOAD_PATH RUBYLIB autoload require bd Branch: # Overview # With Puppet 2.7.x (3a4ac604c85952511fd45c2f0699ce956eda3773) and master (b02aa930a03a282588e81f65e14f47a138a4b9f0) Puppet is not able to find custom types and providers located in a module. This appears to be a regression. # Actual Behaivor # With the [mount_providers](http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/mount_providers) module installed in the module path, there is an error because the type uses a require statement and the $LOAD_PATH is not correct: <pre> Z:\vagrant\modules>puppet describe --modulepath=Z:/vagrant/modules mounttab Could not run: Could not autoload \ Z:/vagrant/modules/mount_providers/lib/puppet/type/mountpoint.rb: Could not autoload Z:/vagrant/modules/mount_providers/lib/puppet/provider/mountpoint/linux.rb: \ no such file to load -- puppet/type/mountpoint </pre> # Expected Behavior # The custom type in the mount providers module should be able to require additional files with the $LOAD_PATH modified to include the lib directory of the module from the module path. # Steps to reproduce # Install Puppet 2.7.13 from our MSI. Modify environment.bat to use PUPPET_DIR and FACTER_DIR pointing at your Git working copies. Install the mount_providers module somewhere. Use puppet describe --modulepath=Z:/path/to/modules mountpoint See the exception raised. This happens on both 2.7.x and master. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
