Issue #16856 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar. Status changed from Investigating to Needs More Information
I've updated my pull request incorporating these items and the stuff from the list about the default hierarchy. the problem with the backend only being there by default when using hiera() is because the indirector and the parser functions were not DRY - the parser functions used the HieraPuppet class while the indirector duplicated the functionality of this class so I refactored that up to be DRY leading to more consistency. @zipkid - would be awesome if you could test again ---------------------------------------- Feature #16856: puppet should support data in modules https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16856#change-78660 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1217 At present there is a way to store data in modules using the puppet backend for hiera but it is optional and kind of broken. The site hierarchy impacts how the puppet backend behaves which makes it impossible for module authors to supply data in their modules they can rely on I propose a new hiera backend that loads a hierarchy of data from the 'data' directory in the module, this module must always be present in a puppet install. This ability is key to the ability to create configurable forge modules that do not have hard coded values thanks to the puppet 3 hiera integration reference the users list thread https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-users/pvqzeyHkrY4/discussion -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
