Hiera Array Only Returns Last Line

[Dan Crisp]

Hi,

Attempting to popualte a file with a hiera array.  

I have the following hiera defined:

# more common.yaml

vimrc:

  - 'syntax on'

  - 'colo delek'

  - 'set nu'

  - 'set cursorline'

  - 'set history=1000'

  - 'set showmode'

  - 'set showcmd'

Puppet lookup seems to return what I expect to see:

# puppet lookup vimrc

---

- syntax on

- colo delek

- set nu

- set cursorline

- set history=1000

- set showmode

- set showcmd

Here's how I'm call the hiera array:

class base::vim {

  $set = lookup('vimrc', Array[String])

  package { 'vim': ensure => installed, }

  file { '/root/.vimrc':

    owner    => root,

    group    => root,

    mode     => '0644',

    content  => $set,

  }

}

However I just end up with the last line of the arrary:

# more .vimrc

set showcmd

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan.

AFAIK content expects a string.
Maybe you can try

content => $set.flatten

Thanks for the respone Martin.  Unfortunately that made no difference.  Still only end up with one line.

Thanks,

Dan.
