class name length?

[udo waechter]

Hello once again.

Is there a limit to the length of the name of a class?
- puppetmaster/clients 0.24.5 on Debian Etch
- clients 0.24.4 on Ubuntu Hardy
- clients 0.24.5 Mac OS X (Leopard)

I have one
class one::two::threeeeee::four { ...usefullthings... }
which does not get evaluated.
If I change that to:
class one::two::threeeeeefour { ...usefullthings... }
it gets evaluated.

The limit might be in the number of "nesting levels" or how the '::'
are called. Does this exist or have I found a bug?

Thanks once again,
udo.

I have class and define names waaay (;) longer than that in my
manifest tree (using a 0.23 pm admittedly), so i would expect that you
have a problem somewhere else in your manifest file.

For example, I have class names like
semantico::deployments::customer::blah::app1 - I have not seen the
issue you mention.
