Puppet Setting Deprecation

[Nan Liu]

I have some code that's doing module searching in the module path:

example = Puppet::Module.find('example', Puppet[:environment].to_s)
raise(LoadError, "Unable to find example module in modulepath
#{Puppet[:modulepath]}") unless example

In Puppet 3.6, the second line is triggering a the following warning:
Warning: Accessing 'modulepath' as a setting is deprecated. See
http://links.puppetlabs.com/env-settings-deprecations

I was able to trace the changes to PUP-2650, but it's not really clear
where the setting is stored now. What's the correct way to access the
modulepath configuration in 3.6?

Thanks,

Nan

I think it's Puppet[:basemodulepath] but this needs to be combined with your environment path search.

Hi Nan,

The modulepath is really only meaningful from an actual environment instance.  What code are you writing?  You'll probably want to lookup the current environment or make use of the environment instance available in your local context (if there is one).

Yes, I'm looking for the environment specific modulepath.

Maybe this is a more complete example:

example = Puppet::Module.find('example', Puppet[:environment].to_s)

raise(LoadError, "Unable to find example module in modulepath #{Puppet[:modulepath]}") unless example

YAML.load_file(File.join(example.path, 'data/foo.yaml'))

So for the directory below:

/etc/puppet/environment/production/modules/example/data/foo.yaml

/etc/puppet/environment/test/modules/example/data/foo.yaml

/etc/puppet/environment/qa/modules/

When an agent connections to environment qa, the error message should be:

Unable to find example module in modulepath /etc/puppet/environment/qa/modules/

I haven't had a chance to spin up a test master to see if Puppet[:basemodulepath] works yet, but it seems to work in irb.

Thanks,

Nan

Where will this code be executing?  On the master, during a catalog compilation?  If so, you probably want:

environment = Puppet.lookup(:current_environment)

environment.modulepath

Yep. 

environment = Puppet.lookup(:current_environment)

environment.modulepath

and

  mod = environment.module('example')

to get the module from the environment.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
