knockout_prefix

[Helmut Schneider]

Hi,

hiera.conf:
:hierarchy:
- nodes/%{::fqdn}
- apps/apache
- common

apache.yaml:
---
lookup_options:
variables:
merge:
strategy: "deep"
knockout_prefix: "--"
[...]
profiles:
webserver:
apache:
server:
configfiles:
enable:
02-listen.conf:
Listen:
- abc
- 'localhost:80'
- 'localhost:443'

host.yaml:
profiles:
webserver:
apache:
server:
configfiles:
enable:
02-listen.conf:
Listen:
- --abc
- '--localhost:80'
- '--localhost:443'
- "80"
- "443"

init.pp:
[...]
$profiles = lookup({
"name" => "profiles",
"merge" => {
"strategy" => "deep",
"knockout_prefix" => "--",
# "sort_merged_arrays" => true,
},
"default_value" => [],
})
[...]

Result:

"02-listen.conf"=>{"Listen"=>["abc", "localhost:80", "localhost:443",
"443"]}

So I expected 'abc', "localhost:80" "localhost:443" to be removed while
'80' was.

helmut@puppet:~$ sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppetserver -v
puppetserver version: 2.8.1
helmut@puppet:~$

Thank you!

Works fine. Hmmm....

Judging from the version of Puppet Server you are on a version of Puppet
that has reached EOL. The hiera 5 support with features like
lookup_options was released late in the Puppet 4.x series but had some
issues before stabilizing in Puppet 5.

Can you try this with a newer puppet version? If the issue is still
there please file a ticket to enable the right people to have a look at
what could possibly be wrong.

Best,
