how to upgrade puppet module in target-dir

I've installed puppet modules as follows

% puppet module install puppetlabs-apache --environment production --target-dir /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules

How can I upgrade the puppetlabs-apache module?

puppet module upgrade tries to lookup the module within /etc/puppet directory

and puppet module upgrade doesnt have a target-dir flag to work with

The puppet module upgrade command does not support this functionality, and there is a bug filed upstream about this.

However, since you can't always install into your module path you can just re-install the module using --target-dir like so:

puppet module install --target-dir /my/path --force name-module --version 1.0.1

YMMV when it comes to the dependencies if you use this method.

The upgrade command should follow the priority of the directory listed from the output of your 'puppet config print modulepath'

meaning it will search: 1) /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules then 2) /etc/puppet/modules then 3) /usr/share/puppet/modules

I hope this helps

I'll answer this myself for someone else who has the same confusion.

#) sudo puppet config print modulepath
/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules:/etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules

puppet module upgrade command will search for module-to-be-upgraded in the above path.
