I was comparing against the output I got from that other program and I see how and why it is wrapping it with [] now. Plus the example I was told to use to verify the JSON output was "jq[0]". 15 seconds on the jq tutorial website shows why that is broken. Some how that fact just didn't click in my head. Duh. On the other hand, scrolling back through my terminal history I see the pre-[] testing where hiera simply just didn't print anything or returned nil. I am failing to see the difference between then and now...My guess is that I had another hiera error, and in my struggles for fixing this issue, I fixed that one...but I'm not 100% on that... On the bright side, it is all working now!! :-) I must be dense or have done something to make Hiera not like me. It seems we brawl for a long time, then suddenly everything starts working... :-D Thank you so much for pointing out my silly goof up. I really REALLY appreciate the second pair of eyes pointing out my mistake. ~Stack~ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
