Bug #2998: cannot specify root namespace with require function

Here is a fun one :)

assume

#test/manifests/init.pp

class test{
  file{'/tmp/testdir':
    content => 'test',
  }
}

#test2/manifests/test.pp

class test2::test{
  require ::test
  file{'/tmp/test2test':
    content => 'blah',
  }
}

this does not work and produces the following output

Could not find dependency Class[::test] for Class[test2::test]

Just for a sanity check, I also tested the the below file which should be equivalent.

#test2/manifests/test.pp

class test2::test{
  include ::test
  file{'/tmp/test2test3':
    content => 'blah',
    require => Class['::test'],
  }
}

produces the expected output:

notice: //test/File[/tmp/testdir]/content: is absent, should be {md5}5a105e8b9d40e1329780d62ea2265d8a (noop)
notice: //test2::test/File[/tmp/test2test3]/content: is absent, should be {md5}6f1ed002ab5595859014ebf0951522d9 (noop)

• Status changed from Investigating to Needs more information
• Assigned to changed from Markus Roberts to Dan Bode
• Target version set to Puppet - 0.25.3

Could you please give a complete description of the configuration you're using to generate this? With either version (the include or the require) on 0.25.x I get an error:

err: Invalid tag "::test" at test2/manifests/init.pp:2 on node phage.home
