Title: Message Title

Tom De Vylder created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5655 Puppet master --compile does not hand over hiera() lookup value to local variables Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.3.1, PUP 3.8.4 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/01/06 8:29 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Tom De Vylder Please consider following snippets: site.pp $foo = hiera('classes') notice($foo) hieradata/default/common.yaml --- classes: - 'apache' Gemfile source 'https://rubygems.org'   gem 'puppet', ENV.key?('PUPPET_VERSION') ? "~> #{ENV['PUPPET_VERSION']}.0" : '>= 2.7' gem 'hiera' Command bundle exec \ puppet master \ --hiera_config ~/tmp/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml \ --manifest ~/tmp/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp \ --modulepath ~/tmp/etc/puppet/modules \ --compile SRV-0-1 \ --debug Error Debug: hiera(): Using Hiera 1.x backend API to access instance of class Debug: hiera(): Looking for data source default/common Debug: hiera(): Found classes in default/common Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, uninitialized constant Puppet::DataBinding::Variables at ~/tmp/puppet/manifests/site.pp:1:8 on node SRV-0-1 Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, uninitialized constant Puppet::DataBinding::Variables at ~/tmp/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:1:8 on node SRV-0-1 Error: Failed to compile catalog for node SRV-0-1: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, uninitialized constant Puppet::DataBinding::Variables at ~/tmp/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:1:8 on node SRV-0-1 As far as I can tell hiera('classes') lookup succeeds yet it's not handed over to $foo but I can't seem to put my finger on what causes this to fail. I also get the very same error when running: site.pp notice(hiera('classes')) I'm running out of ideas how to debug and fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
