Yeah it's definitely a bug, but I think it's
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17105 -- not sure when it'll be
fixed, but I know they're working on it and consider it serious.
If you need it to work today, you can use the "sloppy bools" pattern, and
use a string (instead of a real bool) in your hiera data:
class myclass ($myparam) {
$myparam_real = str2bool("$myparam")
#... use $myparam_real everywhere below here.
}
---
myclass::myparam: "false"
This will make it so $myparam can be a string, a real boolean, or a number
(0/1), and still work fine. Note the quotes in the str2bool call; those
make it so you can later change the hiera data to a real bool (after the
bug is fixed) without changing your code.
