Hi People,
I came across an issue where hiera command line tool returns a different data
to what puppet3.0 builtin hiera does.
When I say different data, I mean hiera tool returns an array of items
collected throughout the hierarchy, while hiera_array() called from within a
manifest returns an array of items from the very top level of hierarchy.
Here is my setup example:
YAML data files below:
# cat nodes/node1.example.local.yaml:
foo::conf:
- 'node_specific = foo'
- 'node_specific2 = foo2'
# cat common.yaml:
foo::conf:
- 'common = foo'
- 'common2 = foo2'
That's what I get by running hiera tool on the puppet master:
# hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml -a foo::conf environment='development'
fqdn='node1.example.local'
["node_specific = foo", "node_specific2 = foo2", "common = foo", "common2 =
foo2"]
>From within the manifest, I use as a parameter:
$conf = hiera_array('foo::conf')
and then I have a template which creates a file on a node:
<% conf.each do |item| -%>
<%= item %>
<% end -%>
.. so what this template create is the following content of a file on node1:
node_specific = foo
node_specific2 = foo2
My hiera.yaml looks like this:
# cat /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
---
:hierarchy:
- %{environment}/nodes/%{fqdn}
- %{environment}/roles/%{role}
- %{environment}/common
:backends:
- yaml
#- puppet
:yaml:
:datadir: '/etc/puppet/hieradata'
:puppet:
:datasource: 'data'
The node is in development environment.
To me it looks like a bug unless I am doing something fundamentally wrong?
Thanks,
Vaidas
