Title: Message Title

Chuck Schweizer created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6339 Hiera Data in Module give bad results when environment_timeout is unlimited Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.5.0, PUP 4.4.2 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Puppet Server Created: 2016/05/21 6:28 PM Environment: Puppet Server is running on RHEL 7.2 Puppet Clients are RHEL 6.8 and 7.2 puppet-agent-1.5.0-1.el7.x86_64 puppetdb-termini-4.1.0-1.el7.noarch puppetserver-2.4.0-1.el7.noarch Priority: Normal Reporter: Chuck Schweizer 1) Set environment_timeout to unlimited (this does not occur if set to 0) 2) Setup hiera data in a module that use a FACT to determine what it should do. 3) Set the fact differently on two or more clients 4) Run puppet from each of the clients at the same time After a few puppet runs they will stop getting the correct hiera data in module values from the PuppetServer. eg. server1 could see the server2 value or server2 could see the server1 value. SAMPLE module: ./test_module ./test_module/hieradata ./test_module/hieradata/common.yaml ./test_module/hieradata/server1.yaml ./test_module/hieradata/server2.yaml ./test_module/manifests ./test_module/manifests/init.pp ./test_module/metadata.json ./test_module/hiera.yaml init.pp class test_module ( $my_var = 'not from hiera', ){ notify{"The variable is $my_var":} } ./test_module/hieradata/common.yaml --- test_module::my_var: 'In common.yaml' ./test_module/hieradata/server1.yaml hiera.yaml --- version: 4 datadir: hieradata hierarchy: - name: "%{my_fact}" backend: yaml   - name: "common" backend: yaml --- test_module::my_var: 'server1' ./test_module/hieradata/server2.yaml --- test_module::my_var: 'server2' SERVER1 /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/my_fact.txt my_fact=server1 SERVER2 /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/my_fact.txt my_fact=server2 Error seen in Puppetserver logs [puppetserver] Puppet Caching node for server1.mydomain [puppetserver] Puppet Class 'settings' is already defined; cannot redefine at : [puppetserver] Puppet Compiled catalog for server1.mydomain in environment production in 0.04 seconds Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.13#64028-sha1:b7939e9) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
