Hey Trevor, Thanks for the reply. This thread is way off topic from the original problem which has been resolved. Just to clarify for anyone running into the same problem, the issue was simply the syntax I was using. I was checking if a class was defined like this:
defined( Class["class::subclass"] ) The correct syntax is: defined( "class::subclass" ) The documentation is not clear on the proper way to do this. I've filed a bug report with so this should be getting clarified in the documentation.
