Issue #19188 has been updated by micah -.
> So you would like to have something like a global default? Yeah, that is the point, a global default so you don't need to define a default for each key. > Why don’t you define a default yourself directly in the code? I do that, it works, but if I have a lot of keys with the same default, it would be nice to just have one default that they all have without having to define it. > What speaks against a solution where you define all these defaults in your > lowest hierarchy level? That you might not be able to control it? –> Maybe > add a third level, that you can control. Can’t be another yaml hierarchy, but > could be a json one. I'm not sure I understand that :o ---------------------------------------- Feature #19188: configurable behavior with non-existing hiera variables https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19188#change-83655 Author: micah - Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: hiera Branch: puppet-hiera will fail if it wants to read a variable and can't find it. It would be nice if you could configure the behaviour in hiera.yaml for how hiera would deal with non-existent variables. For example: <pre> --- dev/puppet » cat manifests/hiera_test2.pp $a=hiera('a') $b=hiera('b') notice($a) notice($b) --- dev/puppet » cat /home/varac/.puppet/hiera.yaml --- :backends: - yaml - puppet :logger: console :yaml: :datadir: /home/varac/.puppet :hierarchy: - hiera_test :puppet: :datasource: data --- dev/puppet » cat /home/varac/.puppet/hiera_test.yaml --- a: a b: b --- dev/puppet » puppet apply -v manifests/hiera_test2.pp notice: Scope(Class[main]): a notice: Scope(Class[main]): b info: Applying configuration version '1360597894' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.07 seconds --- dev/puppet » vi /home/varac/.puppet/hiera_test.yaml # remove variable b --- dev/puppet » puppet apply -v manifests/hiera_test2.pp Could not find data item b in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /home/varac/dev/Projects/Puppet/dev/puppet/manifests/hiera_test2.pp:2 on node rocinante.bitrigger.de </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
