Support for multiple paths for modules about kitchen-puppet HOT 12 CLOSED

This is now implemented and released in version 1.38.1.
You can specify in modules_path parameter multiple directories
modules_path: 'directory_a:directory_b:directory_c'
and we now just merge all the contents of the directories into one modules folder.
we assume all the modules in all the directories have different name.

This should be fairly straightforward to accomplish.

Here we set the directory for the modules that need to be copied into the puppet sandbox. https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-puppet/blob/master/lib/kitchen/provisioner/puppet_apply.rb#L571

Shouldn't be a problem to turn this into a list of modules that are copied into the sandbox modules directory.

I'm sorry that I can't help, because my knowledge of the ruby is quite limited, slowly learning how it works, and the syntax is a bit different to the things I'm used to :)

from kitchen-puppet.

Ah not a problem at all!! :)

Was merely documenting for my own knowledge when I get back to triage this issue. Sorry for implying that you would be responsible for a fix

Actually recently I feel the increasing urge to learn ruby to be able to commit more to the project, mainly because of the puppet/chef and other tools that are ruby-based. Unfortnately right now I don't have time to focus on this, but maybe around Christmas there will be some spare time :)

haha I know the feeling. I have next week off on vacation and am hoping to spend some time triaging a few of these issues in kitchen-puppet. :)

Hah, don't. Go for vacation somwhere without access to the computers. I know that feeling, it's contagious! :D

@grubernaut Did you have the chance to look at this feature? I tried to implement it myself without luck. My ruby skills are not very sophisticated. ;)

from kitchen-puppet.

ok i will try and find some time to implement.

Thanks Neill. Please let me know if I can help in any way. I'm curious to see the code to learn where I failed.

a question if you have multiple modules directories say A B and C
is it ok to just merge all the contents into one modules folder as that is effectively what librarian-puppet does. This assumes all the modules are unique over all the module folders. This would be a very straightforward implementation.
otherwise i need to create a multiple multiple folders:
modules_A
modules_B
modules_C

For me the separation is just a kind of abstraction. I have a directory called legacy to hold old and unsupported modules. The main modules directory managed by r10k. And a site directory with the roles and profiles "modules". So I wouldn't mind if the content is in one modules directory.
