Concat function not found after switching to dynamic environments

[Agustin Horischnik]

I just switched to using environments more or less as described in http://puppetlabs.com/blog/git-workflow-and-puppet-environments and now puppet agent --test on a previously working node fails with...

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function concat at /etc/puppet/environments/testing/modules/gi/manifests/inst.pp:104 on node france-4.kimsufi.com

Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

My puppet.conf in the master looks like this:

...

[main]

logdir       = /home/log/puppet #changed var to home

vardir       = /var/lib/puppet

ssldir       = /var/lib/puppet/ssl

rundir       = /var/run/puppet

factpath     = $vardir/lib/facter

templatedir  = $confdir/templates

hiera_config = $confdir/hiera.yaml

[master]

environment  = production

manifest     = $confdir/environments/$environment/manifests/site.pp

manifestdir  = $confdir/environments/$environment/manifests

modulepath   = $confdir/environments/$environment/modules

tamplatedir  = $confdir/environments/$environment/templates

...

Both master and agent puppet version is 3.4.3.

stdlib is installed in /etc/puppet/environments/testing/modules/stdlib

Any ideas what could I be doing wrong?

Mmm not sure, but hace you tried to move the environment=production to the agent section?

Modules that provide plugins / functions  need to exist in all environments (preferably the same version, other issues can occur if they are not) if you want everything to work correctly with the current state of puppet.  In this case your puppet master is most likely looking for concat / stdlib in the production environment that it is part of and not finding the function when trying to compile the catalog.  This is really the biggest drawback of the current environment system in puppet.

I actually found what was wrong with this in the time since my last message a few hours ago. But since that message is still lost in moderation town I don't really feel like explaining in detail to see it posted half a day later.

The problem has to do with shared modules. Stdlib was shared module so I had to delete it form the shared module folder and then install it using the --modulepath option. Tryied with --environment before but didn't work. There may be something else and if somebody has a similar issue I'll be happy to help.
