Actually, when I run the puppetmaster in debug mode on the server, I see:
debug: Automatically imported testmodule::test01 from testmodule/test01 into
prod2
debug: extlookup/yaml: looking for key=testkey with default=---
debug: extlookup/yaml: Looking for data in /etc/puppet/extdata
debug: extlookup/yaml: Looking for data in
/etc/puppet/extdata/settings.yaml.yaml
debug: extlookup/yaml: Looking for data in
/etc/puppet/extdata/environment_prod2.yaml
debug: extlookup/yaml: Looking for data in /etc/puppet/extdata/common.yaml
notice: Scope(Class[Testmodule::Test01]): TEST VAR=---
debug: File[/tmp/y]: Adding default for backup
.... so, it's looking in the right place for the right key.... it just
doesn't get it...
