Issue #14985 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Project changed from Hiera-Puppet to Puppet
This bug is an issue with the `scope` and `puppet_backend` code due to poor assumptions about the format of the `calling_module` and `calling_class`. As of puppet 3.0, the hiera-puppet code now lives in puppet, so moving this issue accordingly, and marking the other ones as duplicates. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14985: calling_module and calling_class don't always return the calling module/class https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14985#change-76935 Author: Patrick Ramsey Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Patrick Ramsey Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: These two special hiera scope values are looked up by doing ".resource.name" on the Puppet::Parser::Scope from which hiera() was called, with the assumption that this will always return the class name. However, if hiera() is called from within a define, then @real.resource will be an instance of that define, rather than of the class, and the value returned will be the name of that resource rather than of the class. This is unintuitive (as it means calling_module/calling_class aren't set to a module or classname), and it breaks the ability to namespace against calling_class and title (to give specific resources their own configuration) a la :hierarchy: - %{calling_class}/%{title} I'll submit a patch later. For now, I'm working around this by setting a constant inside my puppet define and matching against that in /etc/hiera.yaml, but that's kind of a hack. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
