Issue #17105 has been updated by Rob Terhaar. File hiera bug.png added
I agree this is a major bug. Due to this bug, we are required to be overly explicit about where Puppet should find the data in Hiera. Please see the attached screenshot for an example of this insanity. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17105: Hiera booleans are broken -- explicit false value registers as lookup failure https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17105#change-84501 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: databinding Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1 Keywords: Branch: `/var/lib/hiera/common.yaml:` --- ntp::disabled: false `fake_classes.pp:` class ntp ($disabled) { } include ntp This explodes! Although a `hiera ntp::disabled` call from the command line returns the correct result, Puppet registers this as a failed lookup and bails compilation with `Error: Must pass disabled to Class[Ntp]`. This doesn't happen with `true`, just `false`. I assume we're just doing an `if returned_value` or something somewhere, which will fail on both `nil` (value not found) and `false` (explicit false value found). We can't do that -- booleans are a core data type and Puppet should definitely accept them from Hiera. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
