Title: Message Title

Martin Molnar created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7234 Special variables calling_xxx are not interpolated when using hiera version 4 or 5 Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/02/20 6:34 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Martin Molnar To us this is a blocker for using the puppet lookup functions with hiera v5 configuration. Here are the special variables: calling_module calling_class calling_class_path As documented here: https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.3/puppet.html#special-pseudo-variables Test environment: '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/manifests/site.pp' node "default" { include tmodule include tmodule::subclass } '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/modules/tmodule/manifests/init.pp' class tmodule ( $p = "tmodule default parameter" ) { notice($p) notice(lookup('tmodule::p', String, 'first', "failed lookup")) notice(hiera('tmodule::p', "failed lookup")) } '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/modules/tmodule/manifests/subclass.pp' class tmodule::subclass ( $p = "tmodule::subclass default parameter" ) { notice($p) notice(lookup('tmodule::subclass::p', String, 'first', "failed lookup")) notice(hiera('tmodule::subclass::p', "failed lookup")) } Hiera data: '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/data/tmodule.yaml' --- tmodule::p: 'tmodule::p hiera value' '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/data/tmodule/subclass.yaml' --- tmodule::subclass::p: 'tmodule::subclass hiera parameter' And finally hiera configuration, working state with hiera v3: '/etc/puppetlabs/code/hiera.yaml' --- :backends: yaml :yaml: :datadir: "/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/data" :hierarchy: - "%{calling_module}" - "%{calling_class_path}" Hiera configuration v5 is not working: '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/hiera.yaml' --- version: 5 hierarchy: - name: "Test" paths: - "%{calling_module}" - "%{calling_class_path}" Error: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Permission denied - /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/data at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/manifests/site.pp:2:3 on node From the error I figured it interpolates the variables to empty string and tries to load the data directory as yaml file.
