Hiera lookup

[Sergiu Cornea]

Hello guys,

I am trying to specify in the Hiera file which website should be a CMS like wordpress and which should just be a static website, however, doesn't matter what value I am having in the Hiera, my code always resolves to false. It is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

Below is the code I am using:

$static      = hiera("website_type::${uid}::cms"    , 'false')

 if $cms {

#   install wordpress

}

else {

#create only the dirs

}

hiera:

website:

  1000: 

    example.com

 2000:

    example1.com

website_type:

  2000: 

    cms: 'yes'

Thank you,

Regards,

Sergiu

Your data also does not match this.

website_type::foo::cms is exactly that in hiera not:

website_type:
foo:
cms

depending on version I think you could do hiera("website_type.foo.cms")

Oh I beg your pardon, typo mistake yes it should be $static instead of $cms

Hi,

I have tried the solution that you've proposed but with no luck :( now it is complaining that couldn't find any 'cms' item in the hiera file.

Also, I am running Puppet 3.7 (master & agent) on CentOS 6.5

Thank you,

Regards,

Sergiu
