hiera command line - search with structured facts (key.subkey)

[Louis Coilliot]

Hello,

this work :

hiera -d -c /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml core::packages ::environment=production  ::osfamily=RedHat

this does not (at least on my platform) :

hiera -d -c /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml core::packages ::environment=production  ::os.family=RedHat

(note the dot between os and family).

In the hiera-rchy I have levels like :

%{::environment}/hieradata/os/%{::os.family}/%{::os.release.major}"

I works fine with lookups in puppet 5 but not from the hiera command line.

I use the hiera command line tool for debugging.

With the last version of hiera.

# hiera -v

3.4.3

My syntax in hiera.yaml is still in version 3.

How do you query with the command line and some structured facts in the variable interpolation of the levels in hiera ?

I can't find any doc. or information about that.

Thanks in advance.

Switch to using the lookup CLI instead of hiera CLI.
The hiera CLI is deprecated and has quite a few known problems.

The lookup CLI may not be perfect, but it has a lot of documentation
(and features).

Best,

It works fine for me, thanks ! 

Sorry, I missed the switch to the new command and the doc here : https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/hiera_automatic.html#ariaid-title4

I was looking for 'hiera cli'
