As I understand the proper use of "environments", you would have a separate
definition of the class for QA.
>From puppet,conf:
[main]
certname = 'puppetmaster.example.com'
# The Puppet log directory.
logdir = /var/log/puppet
# Where Puppet PID files are kept.
rundir = /var/run/puppet
# Where SSL certificates are kept.
ssldir = $vardir/ssl
# sync custom facts and plugins
# pluginsync = true
[master]
modulepath = $confdir/environments/$environment/modules:$confdir/modules
manifest = $confdir/manifests/unknown_environment.pp
[production]
modulepath = $confdir/environments/production/modules:$confdir/modules
manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp
[qa]
modulepath = $confdir/environments/qa/modules:$confdir/modules
manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp
[dev]
modulepath = $confdir/environments/dev/modules:$confdir/modules
manifest = $confdir/manifests/site.pp
[agent]
# This allows the puppetmaster to have a client running on the same
machine.
server='puppetmaster.example.com'
certname = 'pmclient.example.com'
# environment is production by default, but I want it explicitly set
environment = production
How about breaking the class into pieces ? That way, if ony one piece needs to
be customized for QA, it can still utilize the other, common parts.
class app-server:config
class app-server:backend
...
