create_resources with hiera

[Darren Claughton]

Hi,

I am trying to use create_resources with hiera.

My hiera testing.yaml (snippet) looks like this

tomcat::confs:

  "%{hiera('webapps_dir')}/tomcat/conf/context.xml":

    content: template('tomcat/context.xml.erb')

tomcat::default_confs:

  ensure: present

  owner: "%{hiera('tomcat::user')}"

  group: "%{hiera('tomcat::group')}"

And my manifest (snippet) looks like this

create_resources(file, hiera('tomcat::confs'), hiera('tomcat::default_confs'))

Everything is working as it should apart from the fact that when the context.xml is created, the content is template('tomcat/context.xml.erb') not my actual erb file.

Thanks,

Darren

The "template('tomcat/context.xml.erb')" is taken as a literal string when read from hiera.

In this case you might wrap the file in a define to use the puppet template() function:

define mymodule::hieratesting ( $content ) {
file { $name:
content => template($content),
}
}
create_resources('mymodule::hieratesting', 'tomcat::confs')
