Unable to specify hierarchy for data-in-modules

[Igor Berger]

Hello,

I'm running Puppet agent stand-alone on Windows.

I got data-in-modules working. However, no matter what I put into the module hiera.yaml,

I can only override the defaults from common.yaml by osfamily (and not, e.g., by environment).

In the setup below the following command outputs:

>puppet apply --binder -e "notice lookup ('my_key')" --environment=local

Notice: Scope(Class[main]): windows-value

Notice: Compiled catalog for myhostname in environment local in 1.40 seconds

And if I delete the osfamily directory, the same command outputs "common-value".

So, even though osfamily is not part of the hierarchy, it's used to override the common value.

Conversely, environment is part of the hierarchy, but it's not used.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks,

Igor.

Module structure:

my_module/

    hiera.yaml

    data/

        common.yaml

        environment/

            local.yaml

        osfamily/
            windows.yaml

hiera.yaml contains:

---

version: 2

hierarchy:

  [

   ['environment', '${environment}', 'data/environment/${environment}'],

   ['common', 'true', 'data/common']

  ]

data/common.yaml contains:

---

my_key: 'common-value'

data/osfamily/windows.yaml contains:

---

my_key: 'windows-value'

data/environment/local.yaml contains:

---

my_key: 'local-value'

Any ideas?

Henrik posted some updates/fixes to his examples. Can you check that first?

Where can I find this updated examples?

[Rob Reynolds]

I believe this was updated in this ARM https://github.com/puppetlabs/armatures/blob/master/arm-9.data_in_modules/index.md

But you may want to check to see if this is still something we are moving forward with.

Hi MM,

Can you tell me how you succeeded in using hiera-data, which is stored in the individual module-directories?

thanks!

Well, I can execute this with for individual module via puppet apply --binder true ... I haven't been able to do this successfully on my vagrant box.  I found out that vagrant use --detailed-exitcode option with puppet apply, which interfere with --binder true option.  I have to set binder true in puppet.conf.  Yet I don't have time to try that yet.

Please be aware that we decided to not move ahead with the "data in
modules" implementation based on the experimental implementation that is
turned on with --binder=true option.

We found several things - there was way too much complexity being
exposed to users, the first implementation missed support for some
typical use cases, and the entire domain of "providing data to modules"
turned out to be an exchange of one problem for another in several cases.

Meanwhile, if you are brave, and want to experiment. You probably want
my branches with simplifications and additional support for private
data. If for nothing else to gain some experience regarding some of the
issues. (Since we decided not to move ahead, these additions & changes
will not be merged into the puppet code base, and the behavior now
available via --binder will be removed - we have not quite yet figured
out what it will be replaced by though).

It is nice to mention this here.

hello,

I will be releasing a module on the forge with this functionality, but need some
early testers as I do not currently have a varied environment to test against.

Those interested please contact me off list or if you're brave just download
the ripienaar/module_data module into your manifests, it auto activates and needs
no config.

Though this is 0.0.1 release no doubt will kill your kitten.
