List, I'm using Puppet 2.7.19 and Hiera 1.0.0, working on a new Hiera backend, and seem to be stumped at a pretty basic step: installation.
I've created my backend in a module, and that file is on the puppetmaster in /etc/puppet/modules/hiera-sidb/lib/hiera/backend/sidb_backend.rb. When watching the output from 'puppet master --no-daemonize -dov', I see: notice: hiera(): Cannot load backend rest: no such file to load -- hiera/backend/sidb_backend I noticed that yaml_backend.rb and puppet_backend.rb are both in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/hiera/backend/, and if I copy/symlink sidb_backend.rb to that path, I get the backend functionality I'm looking for. My question is really: why isn't sidb_backend.rb being copied into /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/hiera/backend by puppet -- and more fundamentally, why is puppet choosing that path? I've been looking for a M to RTF, but the best I've found is: https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera/blob/master/README.md, but it doesn't have a lot of help for writing your own backend Appreciate any help you can provide, -Conor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
