Hiera Data Binding not working on some modules

[Julio Guevara]

Hi Puppet Users,

the situation is as follow. I have been trying to use the Data binding feature of hiera for this module https://forge.puppetlabs.com/jlambert121/puppet i have the following:

dist/profiles/manifests/puppet_master.pp

class profiles::puppet_master ($hello) {
  include ::puppet
  notify { $hello : }
}

dist/roles/manifests/puppet_master.pp

class roles::puppet_master {
  include profiles::puppet_master
}

hieradata/node/example.domain.yaml

---
role:
  - '::roles::puppet_master'

profiles::puppet_master::hello: 'Hello World'
puppet::server: true
puppet::server_version: 'latest'
puppet::dns_alt_names:
  - 'puppet.domain'
puppet::puppetdb_server: 'puppet.domain'
puppet::puppetdb: true
puppet::manage_puppetdb: false
puppet::manage_hiera: false
puppet::firewall: true


puppetdb::listen_address: '0.0.0.0'


hiera::hierarchy:
  - 'node/%%{::}{networking.fqdn}'
  - 'type/%%{::}{type}'
  - 'location/%%{::}{location}/%%{::}{type}'
  - 'location/%%{::}{location}'
  - 'common'
hiera::datadir: '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/%%{::}{::environment}/hieradata'

r10k::version: '2.1.1'
r10k::sources:
  environments:
    remote: 'g...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:puppet-control'
    basedir: '%%{::}{settings.environmentpath}'
    prefix: false
r10k::manage_modulepath: false

The thing is that i can mange to data bind with hiera the value profiles::puppet_master::hello, but i'm unable to do the same thing for all the other values.

Because of this they go to their defaults values and actually uninstall my puppet server on the master :/

Can you guys help me out figuring why this is working for the puppet_master class but not for the puppet module?

Thanks

Julio

Running the puppetserver on debug mode i got the following:

it seems to be that the environment is nil when trying to look for the puppet::server key but it is there for the profiles::puppet_master::hello search.

Any idea?
