Puppi and params_lookup without hiera

[guillaume.lederrey]

Hello !

I'm trying to use the puppet-mysql module from example42 (https://github.com/example42/puppet-mysql), which use puppi (https://github.com/example42/puppi) and its params_lookup function. I want to use it in the context of a Vagrant VM, so with puppet standalone and no hiera database. I get the following exception :

[default] Running Puppet with /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/rundeck-vagrant.pp...
Hiera config file /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml not readable at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/mysql/manifests/init.pp:261 on node rundeck-vagrant.nestle.com

I use Puppet Enterprise 2.7.2.

My understanding is that params_lookup should just skip hiera resolution if it cannot find a hiera database, but it does not seem to be the case ...

Any idea ?

Hi,

params_lookup looks for the precence of the hiera function and if present tries to use it.
The problem here is that Hiera is present (shipped with PE) but not configured, hence the error.

A quick workaround is to create a blank  /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml (on the Vagrant host, not in th VM)

Thank you for your answer ! I'll try your quick fix as soon as
possible. I'll also have a look into puppi to see if might be able
to make it directly compatible with puppet enterprise ...
