Needs decision, assigning to Peter Meier. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19188: configurable behavior with non-existing hiera variables https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19188#change-98288 * Author: micah - * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Peter Meier * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: hiera * Branch: ---------------------------------------- puppet-hiera will fail if it wants to read a variable and can't find it. It would be nice if you could configure the behaviour in hiera.yaml for how hiera would deal with non-existent variables. For example: <pre> --- dev/puppet » cat manifests/hiera_test2.pp $a=hiera('a') $b=hiera('b') notice($a) notice($b) --- dev/puppet » cat /home/varac/.puppet/hiera.yaml --- :backends: - yaml - puppet :logger: console :yaml: :datadir: /home/varac/.puppet :hierarchy: - hiera_test :puppet: :datasource: data --- dev/puppet » cat /home/varac/.puppet/hiera_test.yaml --- a: a b: b --- dev/puppet » puppet apply -v manifests/hiera_test2.pp notice: Scope(Class[main]): a notice: Scope(Class[main]): b info: Applying configuration version '1360597894' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.07 seconds --- dev/puppet » vi /home/varac/.puppet/hiera_test.yaml # remove variable b --- dev/puppet » puppet apply -v manifests/hiera_test2.pp Could not find data item b in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /home/varac/dev/Projects/Puppet/dev/puppet/manifests/hiera_test2.pp:2 on node rocinante.bitrigger.de </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
