Hello all, I do not know whether I have hit a bug or it is just a misconception about puppet configuration but I have found a strange inconsistency setting custom providers and types. Theoretically, custom providers and types can be located at a folder named <module_name>/lib/puppet/providers or <module_name>/lib/puppet/types and they should be sent to agents when using the puppet master - agent approach (if pluginsync is allowed).
The problem comes when I tried to set this up with the glassfish module. I found that leaving the library at lib folder was not enough and I was getting the following exceptions: err: Could not autoload domain: Could not autoload > /etc/puppet/modules/glassfish/lib/puppet/provider/domain/asadmin.rb: no > such file to load -- puppet/provider/asadmin at > /etc/puppet/modules/glassfish/manifests/config.pp:32 on node norway-vm4663 >

libdir so I moved it there, and the exception was gone! But the code was not being executed and only traces were written on the master. But I didn't want it to be executed on the master! Or was it not being really executed? (nothing different was happening on the master). At the end, I have placed the library either at <module_dir>/lib folder and at libdir but I do not like this approach. What's happening? Thanks!
