Question on directory environments and environment.conf - Puppet Version 3.6.2

[Peter]

Hi List,

I am starting to play with directory environments on a test box.  I am using puppet apply (without a master) to get a feel for how it all comes together.

Key files:

puppet.conf

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:35 - root@dna: bootstrap/puppet

$ cat /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet/puppet.conf 

[main]

#Turn on the new smarter directory envrionments

envrionmentpath= $confdir/environments

#Need to set this here for playing with repo as environment.conf does not allow setting hiera.yaml location

hiera_config= $confdir/$environment/hiera.yaml

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

environment.conf

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:35 - root@dna: bootstrap/puppet

$ cat /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet/environments/production/environment.conf 

#Use relative paths within environment directory

modulepath = site-modules:modules

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

puppet config print does not show show the modulepath with the environment.conf details

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:38 - root@dna: tmp/bootstrap

$ puppet config print --confdir /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet --environment production | grep modulepath

basemodulepath = /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules

modulepath = /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have also tried to use puppet apply in case it was an issue with puppet config:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:38 - root@dna: tmp/bootstrap

$ FACTER_hostname=dna FACTER_domain=mgnt.local FACTER_fqdn=dna.mgnt.local FACTER_machine_role=puppetmaster puppet apply --verbose --confdir /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet -e "include roles::puppetmaster" --debug

Error: Could not find class roles::puppetmaster for dna.mgnt.local on node dna.mgnt.local

Error: Could not find class roles::puppetmaster for dna.mgnt.local on node dna.mgnt.local

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

site-modules does contain the puppetmaster file in the correct location

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:40 - root@dna: bootstrap/puppet

$ ls /root/tmp/bootstrap/puppet/environments/production/site-modules/roles/manifests/

puppetmaster.pp

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My question is why isn't the environment.conf file being picked up?  Is this something that will only work if I am running a puppetmaster?

Have I missed something obvious?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi List,

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?  I was hoping that someone may have gotten it working or at least agree that there is an issue.  I am happy to raise a puppet ticket.

Hi Denmat,

Thanks I should have read the web page a bit closer.
