Title: Message Title Andy Parker commented on an issue Re: Expose actual environment path to scope in DSL I think this sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure if $settings is the right place, however, since it isn't a setting per se.

Title: Message Title Sean Millichamp created an issue Puppet / PUP-3041 Expose actual environment path to scope in DSL Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.6.2 Assignee: Andy Parker Components: Server Created: 09/Aug/14 3:17 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Sean Millichamp The new directory environment support is slick BUT one big problem is that there is no really good way to discover from within a catalog compile what the base path to the environment you are in is. It would be great if there was something akin to $settings::my_environment_path exposed into the scope available to the DSL which adjusted to the root of whatever environment was currently being compiled. This would be useful for things like the extdata() and file() functions, and possibly even in use as a crutch in hiera.yaml until per-environment Hiera configuration files are properly supported. For old-style environments I think it would be fair to return 'undef' since the idea of an environment root didn't really exist. Thanks!
