As a side note; mixedcase class/file-names worked OK up until puppet 4.7. It seems to got broken somewhere between 4.8 and 4.10.

Re: Document that Upper case in filenames for autoloaded things like classes does not work Claire Cadman could you add a note to https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_reserved.html#lang_acceptable_char-classes-and-defined-resource-type-names that specifies the filename for a class MUST be lowercase. So this works: # cat /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp include upperCase # cat /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/uppercase/manifests/init.pp class upperCase { notify { 'uppercase': } } But renaming the module directory to mixed case won't (even though the class name is mixed case): # mv /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/uppercase/ /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/upperCase # puppet agent -t ... Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find class ::uppercase

Re: Document that Upper case in filenames for autoloaded things like classes does not work Or is the filename different from the namespace? Yep exactly. The "Classes and defined resource types" section is good as is. It's just that when puppet attempts to load a file for an entity (class, function, etc), it transforms the entity's name to lowercase (as described here) and searches for a matching file. So in other words, puppet requires the full path to be lowercase even if the class, etc name is mixed/camel case.
