Issue #14985 has been updated by Steven Roberts.

3.1.0 is already out and this one and for me at least more importantly the fix 
as a part of bug 16730 which got marked as a dupe of this one looks to not be 
resolved yet.

any ETA for when this bug will get fixed?  and preferably these variables 
documented as well.

if there is a beta/testing build to try it out in I would be happy to.

Bug #14985: calling_module and calling_class don't always return the calling 
module/class
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14985#change-83370

Author: Patrick Ramsey
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 3.x
Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0
Keywords: hiera calling_class calling_module defined_type
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1214


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.
