My best guess is that modulepath is not configured to the correct location.
After you run parse_config, see what Puppet[:modulepath] returns (it needs
to maps to the path that contains the directory with your lib dir in it).
ie: <module_path>/fake_module/lib
parse_config should load the default settings for Puppet which is either
/etc/puppet/modules or whatever you set in puppet.conf
