validate_bool() throwing in error syaing the value not a boolean

[Sans]

Hi guys,

Suddenly started getting this error, which I cannot understand why I'm getting this:

Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, "" is not a boolean.  It looks to be a String at /usr/local/K101/puppet/modules/apps/manifests/app.pp:32:5 on node......

the line 32 is: validate_bool($wp_multisite), which is coming from hiera and set to true
Running PM in foreground or running the agent with --trace doesn't provide any additional information. I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Sam,

Are you 100% sure that $wp_multisite is getting the value from Hiera?

In this case, it looks like the value is empty.

Thanks,

Trevor

Looks like to me it's not getting value from the Hiera at all. How can I make sure of that?

You can try using the hiera command line tool on your hiera.yaml file.

hiera -c '/path/to/hiera.yaml' your::variable.

You may also need to check your server logs to see if there is an error.

If you're using the Java Pupperserver, you may want to restart it due to the change in environment caching.

Finally, you can add a notify to the code in question and see what comes out the other side.

If you are on a newer puppet version where the lookup command is
available you can use 'puppet lookup --explain your::variable'
as it will tell you how it searched for the value.

The first release of lookup runs on the master side, but it uses the
last facts posted by the node; so result is node specific. No way
currently to run it from an agent against the master though.

If you are set up so that puppet apply works on the agent, then lookup
will also work there.
