The module standards page at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Module_Standards advises than when there are multiple classes in a module, you should split them into separate files.
"Each (externally visible) define be in a separate file, named after the class to facilitate autoloading. For groups of small and/or tightly related defines, putting them together into a single file might make sense. The module has to import that in the init.pp to facilitate autoloading." So, when I go and split the init.pp into seperate files in the manifests directory, puppet doesn't automatically load them. What's the best way to do this? I went and put and moved them to a classes directory at the same level as the manifests directory (not sure why I did this except I've seen others doing it. I'd rather leave it in manifests), and put an import "classes/*.pp" at the top of init.pp. Puppet then tells me: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: No file(s) found for import of 'classes/*.pp' at /etc/puppet/modules/repo/manifests/init.pp:2 on node log01.sjc.xxx.com. However, the classes directory has files in it: prov01 /etc/puppet/modules/repo/classes:# ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 4538 Jul 1 16:22 repolist.pp Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
