I got a similar error, but found a fix. 
Put a placeholder data value in your yaml file or remove it . 

I will try opening an issue.

Subject: [Puppet Users] hiera 1.3.0 breaks puppet standalone 


It seems as if latest hiera (1.3.0) breaks puppet standalone, running: 


puppet apply --modulepath=modules:static-modules manifests/default.pp 
--hiera_config hiera.yaml 



Where hiera.yaml is: 



--- 
:backends: 
- yaml 
:logger: console 
:hierarchy: 
- '%{::virtual}' 
- common 
:yaml: 
:datadir: hieradata 


And virtualbox.yaml is (empty yaml file): 
--- 




Results with: 


Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error TypeError: Data 
retrieved from hieradata/virtualbox.yaml is String not Hash at 



I wanted to open an issue but didn't manage to figure how to do this on puppet 
website 


Any clues on how to resolve this?
