Hiera: Using mapped_paths with a hashmap

[Dirk Heinrichs]

Hi,

the Hiera documentation says that the "mapped_paths" method can be used with either an Array or Hash: "A fact that is a collection (array or hash) of values. Hiera expands these values to produce an array of paths."

Using it with an Array is quite easy, since the documentation also has an example for this. However, if the given fact is a hash, then

  - name: Foo

    mapped_paths: [facts.foo, name, "foo/%{name}.yaml"]

produces paths like:

.../foo/["key", "value"].yaml

How can I access the key and/or value separately, or only operate on an Array of keys (or values)

Thanks...

Dirk

Got it: The path template must look like "foo/%{name.0}.yaml" to access the key.

Bye...
