@Carthik and @John, thank you both for your input. I finally got this to work earlier in the week but did not have a chance to post.
Here's what I changed on puppetmaster's `/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf` : [main] environmentpath = /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/node.rb [master] vardir = /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver logdir = /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver rundir = /var/run/puppetlabs/puppetserver pidfile = /var/run/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.pid codedir = /etc/puppetlabs/code server = puppetmaster.domain.ca storeconfigs = true storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/node.rb I essentially, removed basemodulepath as this was what was causing my suspicion (obvioulsy the wrong `modules` path was being loaded and this had to do with order of file loading). In the `ops` environment's environment.conf file, I did the same in the hopes that I was forcing the default environmental paths only: modulepath = ./modules:./classes manifest = ./manifests So now, my puppet runs do exactly as I expect for both `production` and `ops` (pasting ops node output here) : [r...@node.domain.ca ~]# puppet agent -o -v --no-daemonize Info: Using configured environment 'ops' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for node.domain.ca Info: Applying configuration version '1488089754' Notice: Applied catalog in 23.46 seconds This is great, now. Thank you both! Of course, if there are any recommendations on basemodulepath management or if anyone thinks this should be overridden in a different way, I'm open to suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
