Hiera 5 calling_class

[Ben Hines]

Perhaps this is just a bug, but does %{calling_class} function with Hiera 5? I haven't been able to get it to function.  Perhaps it has a new syntax?

Notice it's blank:

==> test:       Hierarchy entry "calling_class"

==> test:         Path "/tmp/vagrant-puppet/environments/myenv/data/classes/.yaml"

==> test:           Original path: "classes/%{calling_class}.yaml"

==> test:           Path not found

hiera.yaml looks like: (per the 'prerelease documention' :)

version: 5

hierarchy:

  - name: "calling_class"

    path: classes/%{calling_class}.yaml

defaults:

  datadir: data

  data_hash: yaml_data

It is deliberately not supported in the hiera 5 format.

Okay, thanks! From reading changelogs in git it looked like it was intended to be supported. It might be worth mentioning in the release notes.

Anyway in my case i can work around with module data.

thanks!

It is supported when using hiera.yaml version 3 as we must keep that
backwards compatible.
