Issue #17715 has been updated by Lee Lowder. Status changed from Needs Decision to Closed
Closing this as "Not a Bug" per my prior comments. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17715: Variables with defaults incorrectly looked up in hiera if a value is not passed to a class declared like a resource. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17715#change-83129 Author: Jon Topper Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1 Keywords: Branch: Given a puppet manifest like: <pre> class test_class ( $test_param = 'foo' ) { info( $test_param ) } node default { class { test_class: } } </pre> and a hiera.yaml like <pre> --- :backends: - yaml - puppet :logger: console :hierarchy: - environments/%{fqdn} - common :yaml: :datadir: /tmp :puppet: :datasource: data </pre> When invoked thus: <pre> puppet apply --verbose test.pp --hiera_config ./hiera.yaml </pre> the following warnings occur: <pre> Warning: Scope(Class[Test_class]): Could not look up qualified variable 'data::environments/core.vagrant::test_class::test_param'; class data::environments/core.vagrant::test_class could not be found Warning: Scope(Class[Test_class]): Could not look up qualified variable 'data::common::test_class::test_param'; class data::common::test_class could not be found Warning: Scope(Class[Test_class]): Could not look up qualified variable 'fake::data::test_class::test_param'; class fake::data::test_class could not be found </pre> It looks like this is the hiera code attempting to look up the value of test_param in the hiera data. I believe this is incorrect, and that the behaviour should be equivalent to me invoking the class as <pre> class { test_class: test_param => 'foo' } </pre> which doesn't throw the warnings. TL;DR: if I set a variable's default in the class definition, this shouldn't be looked up in hiera if I don't pass it when declaring the class like a resource. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
