Failure to set '::staging::path'

[dandunckelman]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 4.6.1
• Ruby: 2.0.0p384
• Distribution: Ubuntu 14.04
• Module version: 1.0.7 (per the MySQL module requirement: link)

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

I have a Puppet manifest that loads the MySQL tuner like this:

class { '::mysql::server::mysqltuner': }

What are you seeing

This appears when I run puppet agent -t:

/Stage[main]/Mysql::Server::Mysqltuner/File[/usr/local/bin/mysqltuner]  Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment development source(s) file:/mysql/mysqltuner-v1.3.0

At that moment, this appears in the /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log log:

2016-08-23 19:49:28,414 WARN  [qtp1119244362-278] [puppetserver] Puppet Unknown variable: '::staging::path'. at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/development/modules/mysql/manifests/server/mysqltuner.pp:44:21

What behaviour did you expect instead

No issue in applying the manifest

Output log

N/A

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Please let me know if there's more info you'd like.

Hmm, I don't get this error when I run my local acceptance test w/ beaker/vagrant.

Must be something in my production environment.

Anyone have an idea why the ::staging::path fact would be "unknown"?

False alarm. When I updated some more puppet settings on the server/clients 5 days ago, the errors stopped happening.
