Puppet / PUP-10265 Add 'site-modules' to the environment default modulepath Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/02/03 11:34 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Sean McDonald By default, an environment's modulepath does not contain {site-modules} . In bolt, that is a default path available to Boltdirs, and when users want to migrate their bolt projects to PE it would be nice if the defaults modulepaths were the same. Add Comment

Re: Add 'site-modules' to the environment default modulepath We need product input on this to determine if it should be added or not and if so how it should be prioritized. Right now this seems like a "this would be nice" feature, but not necessarily a customer need or request. It would also change default behavior which implies other unknowns and potentially breaking-behavior?     Coremunity doesn't have its own Product person right now, maybe cc Tara Krishnan can take a look?

Jorie Tappa how much engineering effort do you think this would take?

Re: Add 'site-modules' to the environment default modulepath

Follow up questions concerning this: Why wouldn't we change Bolt's defaults instead? It seems a little backwards to modify Puppet and PE defaults for Bolt's default configuration. Also, if the concern is to get an easier migration path specifically to PE, this sounds like a PE ticket, not puppet. Any changes we make to the defaults in puppet would be breaking and have larger consequences, so at minimum, this work is Puppet 7 or beyond.

Re: Add 'site-modules' to the environment default modulepath

Sean McDonald by site-modules do you mean /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/<env>/site which is used for role and profile? If so then I think this is a duplicate of PUP-6572
