ok.. I am going crazy,,

[ivan roseland]

I have some hiera:

"sys_gemfirexd::gemfire_users": {

     "gemfirexd.user.test": { "password": "XXXXXXXXXX" }

    },

I have some puppet :

  $gemfire_users=hiera_hash('sys_gemfirexd::gemfire_users', undef )

  if $gemfire_users == undef {

    $gemfire_users_test = "undef"

    }

    else {

      $gemfire_users_test = "ok"

      }

ok, I am not particularly proud of that bit, but.. I only occasionally need to have this last bit happen.. So, if its not defined in hiera it should not actually happen in the template..

I have some template:

<% if gemfire_users_test != "undef" -%>

<% gemfire_users.each_pair do |key, val| -%>

<%= key -%>=<%= gemfire_users['password']%>

<% end -%>

<% end -%>

Which is producing:

gemfirexd.user.test=

So fare so good, I at least have it dropping the key, now I would really like to get the value of password to drop..

I am suddenly having a difficult time wrapping my head around the needed ruby to make that part happen..

 yes, crazy,,

"sys_gemfirexd::gemfire_users": [

         { "name": "XXXXXXXX",

           "password": "password_123"

         }

    ],

<% if gemfire_users_test != "undef" -%>

<% gemfire_users.each do |gemfire_users| -%>

<%= gemfire_users['name'] -%>=<%= gemfire_users['password']%>

<% end -%>

<% end -%>

and now.. 

gemfirexd.user.test=XXXXXXXX

much better..

For what it's worth, variables with a value of undef will be nil in templates. You can use the .nil? method to check them, so you don't need to make a test variable there. Additionally, you should refer to variables in templates with an @, such as @gemfire_users instead of gemfire_users.

Here's a link to the doc, if you're interested: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html#referencing-variables .
