Issue #17105 has been updated by Patrick Carlisle. Status changed from Needs Decision to Duplicate
Closing as duplicate of #17474. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17105: Hiera booleans are broken -- explicit false value registers as lookup failure https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17105#change-87073 * Author: Nick Fagerlund * Status: Duplicate * 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.
