Is hiera broken in FOSS Puppet 3.7.2?

[Peter Berghold]

Seeing things like doing a hiera lookup inside a manifest such as

$somevar = hiera('randomvalue','notfound') 

returning nils and other odd behavior.  

I have a hiera.yaml file that looks like:

---

:backends:

  - yaml

:merge_behavior: deeper

:deep_merge_options: {}

:yaml:

  :datadir: "/etc/puppet/environments/%{environment}/hieradata"

:hierarchy:

  - "function/${::facts.host_function}"

  - "datacenter/%{::facts.sitename}"

  - "nodes/%{fqdn}"

  - "common_classes"

  - "common"

and yet I see both the nodes and common_classes being ignored.    

Of more concern to me is I'm trying to set values such as 

somemod::parms::value1:  somevalue 

and that's being ignored.  

Puppet.conf is configured correctly because it *is* finding a class list in common.yaml but nowhere else. 

Thoughts?

If I had to guess, it would be that the merge settings either don't exist or are buggy in 3.7.2. 3.8 was EOL in December last year, if you have to stick with 3 I'd suggest at least trying it with 3.8.

I was afraid that would be an answer I got... :-) 

There are plans to move to Puppet 4 where I know all this works but given I have to support all this on RHEL 6.x there may be some obstacles there.   I would LOVE to wave a magic wand and make Puppet 3.x go away.... 

So.. 3.8 eh?  There's something to investigate....

If it helps, I use Puppet 4 and RHEL6 all the time!

Puppet 4 ships as an all in one package so you can even run it on
Centos5 since it's ships with it's own Ruby, etc.
