heira debug not working

[Jagga Soorma]

Hi Guys,

I am new to hiera and can't seem to get the debug command to work for hiera.  Seems like it is not picking up the environment variable even when I specify it on cli:

--
[root@resforetst01 ~]# grep -i testkey /etc/puppet/environments/production/hieradata/common.yaml
testkey: hello

[root@resforetst01 ~]# hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml testkey environment=production --debug
DEBUG: 2016-09-24 16:10:28 -0700: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: 2016-09-24 16:10:28 -0700: Looking up testkey in YAML backend
DEBUG: 2016-09-24 16:10:28 -0700: Looking for data source common
DEBUG: 2016-09-24 16:10:28 -0700: Cannot find datafile /etc/puppet/environments//hieradata/common.yaml, skipping
nil

[root@resforetst01 ~]# grep -i datadir /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml | grep -v '#'
  :datadir: "/etc/puppet/environments/%{::environment}/hieradata"

[root@resforetst01 ~]# cat /etc/puppet/environments/production/hieradata/common.yaml | grep -v '#' | sed '/^$/d'
---
pr_runlevel::default_runlevel: '3'
selinux::mode: 'disabled'
firewall::ensure: 'stopped'
testkey: hello
--

Any help would be appreciated.  Am I missing some configuration here?

Thanks!

Use ::environment on the command line, since that's what your datadir is looking for. environment and ::environment are not normalized to the same value.

Thanks for the reply Rob. That seemed to be the problem.
