Re: Feature request: Add a way to turn looked up undef values in Hiera into "not found"

I wonder if it would be possible to solve this with the existing version by instead of binding the key to null in json you would bind it to an alias lookup of a key that does not exists. I have not tested, but that may result in the desired "not found". For example {{key: "%

{alias(non_existing_key)}

"}. It may be that results in an undef, but if it doesn't then that is a possible workaround and there would be no need to add anything to the hiera implementation.

Would be great if someone has the time to test this.

Henriks example results in an empty string. The strict_alias proposed in PUP-8593 would result in an undef.

Thomas Hallgren I thought strict_alias would result in a "not-found" and that was the entire idea why having it in the first place.

Yes, of course. I meant "not-found", not undef. Doh!
