Issue #4409 has been updated by Stijn Hoop.
Running into this as well, which was frustrating because all I did was combine the chapter 3 and 10 of the new (and mostly excellent) Pro Puppet book. Due to the very confusing error message it took me a while to connect to this bug. Note that while the workaround of rsyncing / symlinking the modules into the servers modulepath works, it is still necessary to restart the puppetmaster every time that module changes. That means that practically speaking I cannot really recommend putting new types/providers in modules for 2.6.x, at least when also using environments. I hope it will be fixed in 2.7.x... ---------------------------------------- Bug #4409: puppetmasterd does not find custom types for environment https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4409 Author: Rudy Gevaert Status: Accepted Priority: Urgent Assignee: Category: plumbing Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/4409 Hello, I can't get plugins in modules to work.
