Hiera / HI-577
Standalone `hiera` command errors with hiera v5 config file
Change By:
Martin Ewings
*Overview*Sometimes you need to use the standalone {{hiera}} command to debug a hierarchy when working with tools such as {{onceover}} or when setting up a whole {{puppet lookup}} environment is impractical.If this is attempted using the {{hiera}} command shipped in puppet-agent-1.10.5-1.el7.x86_64.rpm user will always encounter a confusing error if {{version}} is set to {{> 3}} in the {{hiera.yaml}} file*Expected result*Expect to be able to lookup data item on the command line using {{hiera}} command and hiera v5 config file*Actual result*User receives the error:{noformat} Failed to start Hiera: RuntimeError: v4 hiera.yaml is only to be used inside an environment or a module and cannot be given to the global hiera{noformat} *Steps to reporoduce*1. Hiera.yaml{noformat} ---version: 5defaults: datadir: hieradata data_hash: yaml_datahierarchy: - name: "Common data"path: "common.yaml"{noformat} 2. Lookup data as users:{noformat} hiera -c hiera.yaml ruh::rohFailed to start Hiera: RuntimeError: v4 hiera.yaml is only to be used inside an environment or a module and cannot be given to the global hiera{noformat} *Analysis*The error message seems to indicate that the hiera configuration file uses the old v4 format but it doesn't, its definitely version 5 and works fine with {{puppet lookup}} if dropped into the correct directory. Looking at the sourcecode, versions > 3 will allways encounter this error and Indeed the error can be cleared by declaring {{version: 3}} in the {{hiera.yaml}} file. I didn't check if this 'trick' still lets you work with hiera 5 functionality and wouldn't recommend it.*Workarounds*Setup the system to use {{puppet lookup}} \ (?)*Desired fix*I'm not sure what is supposed to happen here. I understand that hiera is now part of puppet but where does this leave the standalone hiera command? Is it intended to work at all? Is it deprecated in favour of {{puppet lookup}}? Is it only intended to work with {{hiera.yaml}} files v3 and earlier? Would be great to get some clarity around these issues as the error message about v4 configuration files is confusing when file is already in v5 format.

Title: Message Title Henrik Lindberg commented on HI-577 Re: Standalone `hiera` command errors with hiera v5 config file The hiera CLI does not work with hiera 4 or 5 (it has never worked with anything but version 3 (or older)), it is strictly hiera 3 - it is also deprecated in favor of the lookup CLI. (The hiera CLI has a long history of bugs). Even when remaining on a hiera version 3 config, the recommendation is to not use the hiera CLI as the result can be incorrect (i.e. different than when used with puppet). The best way to test something is to use the lookup CLI or to run a simple manifest with the hiera function call or lookup call for the key in question as this provides a result that is the same as what you get when using hiera + puppet in combination in a particular environment.
