Puppetserver doesn´t detect node definitions

[janfickler]

Hi,

i have setup 2 new puppetservers 7 with an external puppetdb and an external foreman.

currently we facing the problem that our puppetserver node definitions are only detected in "manifests/site/default.pp"

i have my node defintions all in that file it seems that my clients can take it, but if i use separate files not.

after searching around i found that for the manifests there is the option to set the manifestspath in the file "puppet.conf" on puppetserver or set in in "environment.conf" in the environment itself.

content of "environment.conf":

`# environment.conf
manifest = manifests/site/
modulepath = modules/site:modules/common:modules/extern:$basemodulepath
environment_timeout = 3m
config_version = '/usr/bin/git --git-dir $codedir/environments/$environment/.git rev-parse HEAD'

on the puppetserver itself if i check if r10k is updating the environments i see everytime the correct config files.

We have in our infrastructure also puppetservers with them it works for whatever reason and normally that node-definition detection is from documentation a build in feature.

Could someone help me or has an idea what could cause this problem ?
