Could not find data item

[John K]

Morning All

  I've run into an oddity and have been unable to find satisfaction with Dr. Google, so I thought I'd ask the experts.

I added a defaults yaml for my project (bdp_def.yaml), in which I have some default classes and variables for those classes.
My first class sets up a repo for my project using variables from the defaults file.

Basically it applies a bdp_yum class to all the nodes, and bdp_yum does a hiera lookup for an "enabled" option.  The class application and the variable definitions are in the same file.

If I do a hiera call on the command line, I get the expected response:

 [root@puppet hieradata]# hiera bdp_yum::enable_bdp_repo ::environment=simp -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
WARN: 2016-09-08 14:35:13 +0000: Not using Hiera::Puppet_logger. It does not report itself to be suitable.
1

However, when puppet runs, it finds the class assignment, but doesn't resolve the variable (I've aliased puppetd to 'puppet agent' ):

[root@puppet hieradata]# puppetd -t
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find data item bdp_yum::enable_bdp_repo in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppet/modules/bdp_yum/manifests/init.pp:2 on node puppet.rdk.test
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
[root@puppet hieradata]#

It is very strange that both items come from the same file, but puppet isn't finding the variables.

Any help would be appreciated

Trevor told me to reload puppet, I did and that worked.  It is strange that it found the class but not the variable, I'm happy it is working though, thanks Trevor.

for reference, I ran:  /usr/local/sbin/puppetserver_reload

If you add new files to Hiera, the Puppetserver won't pick them up by default.

Thanks,

Trevor

My guess is that you need to reload your puppetserver.

You can either restart the service or you can use our puppetserver_reload script.

Thanks,

Trevor
