DSC modules - Could not autoload dsc_base_provider

[webalexeu]

Describe the Bug

Hello,

We are facing an issue with the DSC modules (Using computermanagementdsc 9.2.0-0-0 as reference but same with all modules)

Could not autoload puppet/type/dsc_computer: Could not autoload puppet/provider/dsc_computer/dsc_computer: no such file to load -- puppet/provider/dsc_base_provider/dsc_base_provider

Expected Behavior

Applying configuration

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure it is easily reproducable When apply locally on one node manually is not causing any issue It seems more related when using puppetmasters and environment isolation https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/8/environment_isolation.html

Environment

• Puppet agent 8.6.0
• Windows server 2022

Additional Context

We are wondering if the require (in provider part) require 'puppet/provider/dsc_base_provider/dsc_base_provider' should not be transformed to use require_relative instead

Thank you for your support

Could you provide some more details around this issue? When you say apply locally on one node manually can you tell us exactly the command/steps you are running when you do this?

Are you using Open Source or Puppet Enterprise?
