[SOLVED] Could not autoload /etc/puppet/modules/portage/lib/puppet/type/package_keywords.rb: cannot load such file -- puppet/util/portage about puppet-portage HOT 4 CLOSED

@brownandsticky these errors indicate that the module isn't able to autoload all of the custom ruby plugin information for this package. I suspect that this should be fixed in Puppet 3.1 and greater; are you able to test that version of Puppet and see if this issue resolves itself?

Alternately this error might indicate that the autoloader needs to be updated to scan for libraries in puppet/util, but that's me musing more than anything else.

@adrienthebo I installed puppet-3.1.1-r1 and the issue is resolved. Many thanks.

I'm just starting down the Puppet road. But this module brings Gentoo's packaging peculiarities under Puppet control perfectly. It creates/updates "/etc/portage/package.*/default" with the USE flags, keywords etc specified in the manifest.

Change the file /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/autoload.rb to modify the load_file procedure to this form:

def load_file(name, env)
  file = get_file(name.to_s, env)
  return false unless file

  begin
    mark_loaded(name, file)
    Kernel.load file, @wrap
    return true
  rescue SystemExit,NoMemoryError
    raise
  rescue Exception => detail2
    begin
            mark_loaded(name, file)
            Kernel.load file, @wrap
            return true
    rescue Exception => detail
            message = "Could not autoload #{name}: #{detail}"
            Puppet.log_exception(detail, message)
            raise Puppet::Error, message, detail.backtrace
    end
  end
end

The Kernel.load is not loading the file fast enough.

I got the same error using puppet 4.0.0, i downgraded to version 3.7.4 and everything is fine again.
