Thomas Hallgren commented on PUP-7336   Re: Interpolation behavior in hiera.yaml changed between Puppet version 4.9.3 and 4.9.4 Some conclusions from looking at the description. This interpolation: %{::roles.0} refers to the global scope variable 'roles'. The declaration here, however: roles: - test1 declares a 'roles', that doesn't. It cannot be found using an interpolation _expression_ that references a global scope variable. For that to happen, the interpolation must use a function, e.g. %{hiera('roles')}, or rely on that some calling scope declares it as a variable. Perhaps that's the case here? I suspect it is, because if changing 'roles' to '::roles', makes a difference, then it must be caused a declaration in the local scope of the caller. That scope might well have a 'roles' defined and it might be related to the declaration described in the declaration. If so, it's an undesired side effect and the fact that it used to work using a global scope declaration was a bug.
