[Puppet Users] Re: Seemingly random failures after 2.7.1 upgrade
I think the way I posted the contents of the modules may have been misleading, as I do actually have each class in it's own file so kvm::host class has it's own host.pp file. So far I've actually noticed this problem only on my modules that make use of the autoloading, so each class in it's own *.pp file. Not all my modules suffer from this, but that's one common thing among the ones that do fail. I'm in the process of moving my other modules to that layout as they currently have all classes in init.pp, but interestingly enough none of those modules have had random failures. - Trey On Jul 13, 1:29 am, Peter Meier peter.me...@immerda.ch wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is using an empty class in init.pp problematic ? All of these modules worked just fine before going from 2.6.8 to 2.7.1. I have no idea, whether this is the problem. But why do you do: # manifests/init.pp import classes/*.pp class kvm { } # manifests/classes/host.pp class kvm::host { ? Why not just have one file manifests/host.pp that contains the kvm::host class? Everything else is not really necessary. Puppet has quite a powerfull autoloading feature of classes and I think it can be seen as a general best practice to have one class in a file in its corresponding path on the filesystem. With your current way you would need a global import kvm, so that the init.pp class is actually parsed, so that the files in classes/ are imported. If this is not the case and the kvm::host class is not in a file that can be found by the autoloader it won't find the class. This becomes even trickier as other hosts can now interfere which classes are available while compiling the next hosts classes, as an import statement might only have been executed if Host A is compiled and only this would then make these imported classes that Host B requires available. Actually, I remember that the autoloader should also look into init.pp for the kvm::host class. But it's possible that something like that might have changed in 2.7. But I don't know it. Due to these two reasones (magic availability of classes, possible changes in how classes become available in 2.7) I would generally recommend to *not* use import statements and instead use puppet's autoloading feature. They're rather hard to debug. ~pete -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla -http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4dOygACgkQbwltcAfKi39akACcCwslVzxzrTy3/H0r7kGyi4dB M4gAn1LHtc/LGk7OtbVfDolhm5cXwm/p =lWHm -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Seemingly random failures after 2.7.1 upgrade
Hi Nigel, here we go... * all my classes are included (I was still using 0.25.x...) * In my $confdir/manifests/classes/roles I have a very generic class for all puppet hosts declared as follow: class role_puppet_common { $role = puppet_common include common include puppet::common include puppet::user } in $confdir/manifests/site.pp I have the following line... [...] import classes/roles/* [...] the weird Could not find class problem occurs for class puppet::common my directory structure is as follow: ... $confdir/modules/puppet/ $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/ $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/common.pp ... in $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/init.pp I have: import puppet/classes/* and in $confdir/modules/puppet/manifests/classes/common.pp class puppet::common { ... } * my modulepath declared in puppet.conf is as follow: modulepath = /mnt/puppet/conf/modules:/mnt/puppet/othermodules where /mnt/puppet/conf is set to $confdir. That's it! As I said before, when I downgraded to version 2.6.9 everything worked fine.
