Hiera.yaml not interpolate variables

[Israel Calvete]

Hi,

This is my hiera config.

---

:backends: - yaml

:hierarchy: - %{::environment}

            - common

:yaml:

  :datadir: "/usr/share/puppet/configuration/%{::environment}/hiera/current/hieradata"

:puppet:

  :datasource: data

It seems if puppet master can't resolve enviroment variable but if I change %{::environment} for a fix value, all works fine.

In a client the error is...

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find data item mysql_monitor_user in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at....

In the puppetmaster ( repupuppet himselft ) the error is ...

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: malformed format string - %S at

Both for line...

$cndb_db = hiera('cndb_db')

My hiera version is 1.2.1

My puppet version is 2.7.23

Thanks!!!!

Where is your hiera.yaml located? Default for puppet is /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

Yes, hiera file is in /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

Pretty sure I ran across this same issue. Try pulling the :: out of the
variable name. e.g. %{environment}

Try something more like...need quotes afaik.

:backends:

  - yaml

:hierarchy:

  - defaults

  - "%{clientcert}"

  - "%{environment}"

  - "users/%{usertype}"

  - global

You must use double quotes when you want interpolation to work. See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/variables.html#interpolation-tokens

"In YAML files, any string containing an interpolation token must be
quoted in order to comply with the YAML spec. (Under Ruby 1.8,
interpolation tokens in unquoted strings will sometimes work anyway, but
this can’t be relied on.)"

So that should be "%{::environment}", instead of simply %{::environment}.
