Issue #19459 has been updated by Bruno Leon.
jeffmccune mentionned on github "setting the empty hash as a value in the data file is an insufficient solution to this problem" Well I just don't see any other option for the meantime so AFAIK this can be closed. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19459: create_resources() should accept hash keys with no parameters https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19459#change-84097 Author: Bruno Leon Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Bruno Leon Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: create_resources hash Branch: When using create_resources(), you must pass a hash as the first parameter, each key being the title of one resource of the given type (passed as first arg). A key with an empty hash as its parameters translates as such in Puppet DSL: create_resources( file, {'/tmp/foo' => {}} ) When using hiera, you would have something like: create_resources( file, hiera('myfiles') ) And the yaml: --- myfiles: 'foo': This however will not be interpreted as an empty hash but rather as nil, which in turns fail when the merge() function expects a hash: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: can't convert nil into Hash In the specific case of create_resources(), I think that this kind of yaml should be acceptable (otherwise you will have to pass an empty argument just for a syntaxic issue). I did a simple patch that addresses this issue and allow a better usage of the create_resources() function. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
