I don't know what you are talking about. There is no new DSL syntax replacing the 'include' directive. Since 3.5 there has been the 'contain' directive / function which *supplements* 'include'. Puppet 3.7 has a feature allowing you to declare a directory as your main manifest; this largely obviates 'import' (*not* 'include'). Did you mean one of those? Either way, 'include' is still alive and well, and in many cases it is still the best choice for declaring classes. > > I found this example of how to do this in puppet enterprise: > > [main] environmentpath = $confdir/environments default_manifest = > $confdir/manifests basemodulepath = > $confdir/modules:/opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules > > So it looks like you are indeed trying to use directory environments and a main manifest directory. You should peruse the relevant documentation to get a handle on how all this works: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/environments.html, https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/dirs_manifest.html. > But I am using the community version and this did not work for me.

If they are not working for you then yes, you are probably doing something wrong. Note in particular that the configuration directives you are working with operate in concert with a corresponding layout of your manifests -- you will not get the results you expect or want if the config file and the file system disagree about where your files are. > Here's my main section of puppet.conf: > > [main] > confdir = /etc/puppet > # The Puppet log directory. > # The default value is '$vardir/log'. > logdir = /var/log/puppet > > # Where Puppet PID files are kept. > # The default value is '$vardir/run'. > rundir = /var/run/puppet > > # Where SSL certificates are kept. > # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'. > ssldir = $vardir/ssl > > # Allow services in the 'puppet' group to access key (Foreman + proxy) > privatekeydir = $ssldir/private_keys { group = service } > hostprivkey = $privatekeydir/$certname.pem { mode = 640 } > > # Puppet 3.0.x requires this in both [main] and [master] - harmless on > agents > autosign = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 } > > environmentpath = $confdir/environments > > default_manifest = $confdir/manifests > > basemodulepath = > $confdir/modules:$confdir/environments/production/modules > > The ultimate goal I have is to include my nodes definitions in this file > living in the manifests directory: > > /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp > > Can anybody out there help clue me in on how I can include my node > definitions in puppet 3.7.0? > > You seem to be trying to use a combination of directory environments and traditional configuration. You would do well to move over all the way to directory environments. To do so: 1. Create directory /etc/puppet/environments/production if it does not exist. This will be the environment directory for the default environment ("production"); it must be readable and traversible by the master process. 2. Modify the 'basemodulepath' config directive to "basemodulepath = $confdir/modules". You neither need nor want the other directory you specified in the *base* module path (at least at this point). Alternatively, remove this setting altogether, as what you're left with is the default. 3. Restart the master. Keep the 'environmentpath' and 'default_manifest' settings as you already have them. Make sure you do not have any conflicting directives in the [master] section of your config. Also, if Puppet is managing its own config then make sure your changes are not being clobbered.
