[Puppet Users] Hiera in custom facts?

[leed]

Hello all

So is it possible to use hiera data in a custom facts? I'm probably going 
about this all wrong, but I was hoping something like this would work.

Facter.add(cluster_name) do
  setcode do
   hiera('clustername')
  end
end

But I get a lot of

Could not retrieve cluster_name: undefined method `hiera' for 
:Facter::Util::Resolution

The fact that googling for this returns nothing is whats making me worried 
I'm going about it all wrong.

Just want to be able to have a custom fact that returns the cluster_name 
for a host if its set in its hiera data.

Cheers
Lee

 If you want to use $clustername instead of hiera(clustername), just 
 add this to the global scope of your manifest: 

 $clustername = hiera(clustername) 


Thanks for your response, I'd tried adding that to the global scope 
(confirmed with a notify), but this doesn't seem to be passed to the custom 
facts, as these seem to be processed before hand?

So with 

Facter.add(cluster_name) do
  setcode do
$clustername
  end
end

I get :-

# facter --debug -p
value for cluster_name is still nil
