I refactored my work to follow the pattern/design in the Zabbix module, as suggested. However i still continue to get this error, *but only on the first run:*
Could not run: cannot load such file -- Subsequent runs work, as it appears the issue is now that the Ruby gems/packages installed are not auto-loaded back into the Puppet Agent's cache to identify that they are now available. So the *require* declarations still fail to find the gem. Is it possible to tell the agent during a run that it needs to reload the gem in-memory cache? (Is this a thing?) Any thoughts? For Zabbix team: How does the Zabbix module's acceptance test manage this?
