No, you got that backwards. Modulepath is deprecated in favor of
environmentpath, but your Puppet version does not yet support that.
Which is fine, it's a rather new feature.

What makes you say that?
On the contrary, /etc/puppet/modules/env/lib/facter/environment_class.rb
should have definitely worked, because Puppet would pick up the "env"
module and locate the lib/facter/environment_class.rb fact.
When the code is placed there, can you make double sure that these do
not work?
puppet apply -e 'notify { $environment_class: }'
facter -p | grep environment_class
(When writing this I realized that your file used to be named "envir.rb"
which was another mistake - it must be named after the fact I think).

Well, the proper way to do this would be
FACTERLIB=/var/els/puppet/modules/env/lib/facter puppet apply
/var/els/puppet/manifests/site.pp --modulepath /var/els/puppet/modules
And yes, it's hardly ideal.

Meh. Try with the corrected file name in the proper module location.
If you want to stick to /var/els, add the following to your puppet.conf
[main]
modulepath=/var/els/puppet/modules
But then, you likely have more stuff there, so perhaps you even want to
override $configdir or another deeply rooted config value.
Good luck.
