As can be seen in line 464 of <code>lib/puppet/parser/compiler.rb</code>:
<pre>
settings_resource = Puppet::Parser::Resource.new("class", "settings", :scope =>
@topscope)

<pre>
[root@relabs-slave tmp]# cat site.pp
$extlookup_datadir = "xyz"
$extlookup_precedence = ["local-settings", "default-settings"]
import "settings.pp"
[root@relabs-slave tmp]# cat settings.pp
class settings {
$foo = extlookup("bar")
}
[root@relabs-slave tmp]# puppet apply --noop site.pp
warning: Scope(Class[Settings]): Could not look up qualified variable
'::extlookup_datadir'; class has not been evaluated
warning: Scope(Class[Settings]): Could not look up qualified variable
'::extlookup_precedence'; class has not been evaluated
No match found for 'bar' in any data file during extlookup() at
/root/tmp/settings.pp:2 on node relabs-slave.build.mtv1.mozilla.com
</pre>
The above follows, roughly, the description in
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.6.8/function.html#extlookup -- but
doesn't work.
We have found that moving the settings class into a module and explicitly
including it helps. This points to a problem of trying to evaluate the
extlookup too early (at parse time?).
