Dynamic data source - It says I should use %{::variable} notation for the
hierarchy in the hiera.yaml file.
RHEL 5, Puppet 3.1.1, Hiera 1.2.0
/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml :
---
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: '/etc/puppet/hieradata'
:logger: console
:hierarchy:
- %{environment}/common
- common
/etc/puppet/hieradata/common.yaml :
---
#foo: barr
/etc/puppet/hieradata/dev/common.yaml :
---
foo: boo
If I use the "::" top level scope, it does not work.
[root puppet]# hiera foo -d -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml environment=dev
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:52:51 -0400 2013: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:52:51 -0400 2013: Looking up foo in YAML backend
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:52:51 -0400 2013: Looking for data source common
nil
If I remove the double-colon, (and restart puppetmaster) it works.
[root puppet]# hiera foo -d -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml environment=dev
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:53:11 -0400 2013: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:53:11 -0400 2013: Looking up foo in YAML backend
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:53:11 -0400 2013: Looking for data source dev/common
DEBUG: Mon Apr 15 12:53:11 -0400 2013: Found foo in dev/common
boo
The debug output from the first try even shows that it is not looking for the
environment.
What am I doing wrong, please ?
