[Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi,

i have some trouble with hiera and  %{calling_module}.

i have: 

class tomcat::instance{

        $instances = hiera(''tomcat_instances'')

        tomcat::installer{$instances:}

}

define tomcat::installer {

        require ''tomcat''

        $instance_opts = hiera($name)

        $tomcat_user = $instance_opts[user]
        $tomcat_group = $instance_opts[group]
        $basedir = $instance_opts[basedir]
        $logdir = $instance_opts[logdir]
        $tomcat_name = $instance_opts[name]


        $tomcat_version=''6''
...
}

i specify the tomcat names in a hiera file and run the define wit the names 
as array (so they get executed for each name)

''/var/lib/environments/test/hieradata''/tomcat/crowd.yaml

---
tomcat_instances:
        - crowd1
        - crowd2

        
crowd1:
        name: ''crowd1''
        basedir: ''/srv''
        logdir: ''/var/log''
        user: ''crowd''
        group: ''crowd''

crowd2:
        name: ''crowd2''
        basedir: ''/srv''
        logdir: ''/var/log''
        user: ''crowd''
        group: ''crowd''

my hiera.yaml
---
:hierarchy:
    - %{calling_module}/%{fqdn}
    - %{hostbasename}
    - %{domain}
    - common
:backends:
    - yaml
:yaml:
    :datadir: ''/var/lib/environments/%{environment}/hieradata''


if i wrote the crowd.yaml content in the common.yaml all works, if its in 
the module subdirectory, puppet can not find the data from the hiera lookup 
in the tomcat::installer, but the call from the tomcat::instance class 
works, i get the right tomcat names in the error.

any idea?

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Florian,

I believe since $calling_module is a variable out of Puppet and not Facter,
that you will need to ALSO setup the Puppet backend, in addition to the
YAML backend, in the hiera.yaml file so Hiera can get its value.

Hello Florian,

i have had a similiar problem. You need to submit the values to the define.

You should try something like this:

class tomcat::instance {
   $instances = hiera(''tomcat_instances'')

   tomcat::installer { $instances[name]:
      basedir => $instances[basedir],
      logdir  => $instances[logdir],
      user    => $instances[user],
      group   => $instances[group],
   }
}

define tomcat::installer ($basedir, $logdir, $user, $group) {
   ...
}

I am using this method for my Icinga module
(http://github.com/dhoppe/puppet-icinga). You should take a look at the
following files:

   - examples/icinga.yaml
   - manifests/contact.pp
   - manifests/contact/contacts.pp

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Gary,

hm for other classes it works , so i think the puppet backend is not needed 
(https://github.com/ripienaar/hiera-puppet/commit/a7350529a99e5d1bad8b03749661f3f4c7f00216),
the problem is the define, i guess that a define won''t set $module_path
correct, the hiera cass from the class tocat::instance works perfect.

But i have found better solution, i use create_resources to build the 
defines, works really smart

class tomcat::instance{

$instances = hiera(''tomcat_instances'')

        create_resources(''tomcat::installer'',$instances)
}
define tomcat::installer ($user,$group,$basedir,$logdir,$name){ ....}
---
tomcat_instances:
        crowd1:
                name: ''cr1''
                basedir: ''/srv''
                logdir: ''/var/log''
                user: ''crowd''
                group: ''crowd''

        crowd2:
                name: ''cr2''
                basedir: ''/srv''
                logdir: ''/var/log''

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Dennis,

i have found a better solution via create_resources (look at my  reply to 
Gery)

thanks anyway.

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Florian,
Interesting post. I was planning the same sort of approach for apache
vhosts with hiera and create_resources. This is good proof that the
idea works.

Are you using this approach in other modules as well, if so which?

Martin

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Martin,

no currently only for the tomcat::instances.
we currently change our modules to hiera, so maybe i find other cases.

Re: [Puppet Users] trouble with hiera %{calling_module} and puppet defines

Hi Florian. great and smart method. But I''ve found a problem. If i have
a
hash with two dimensions I''m losing the information of the first
dimension.
Explained:

yaml:
---
routers:
  router1:
     ip: 1.2.3.4
     ports:
        1:
           foo: true
           bar: false
        2:
           foo: false
           bar: false
  router2:
     ip: 5.6.7.8
     ports:
        1:
           foo: true
           bar: true
        2:
           foo: false
           bar: true

manifest:

create_resources(''foo::map'',$routers)
}

define foo::map ($ip,$ports) {
  create_resources(''ports::map'',$ports)
}

define ports::map ($foo,$bar) {
}


When catalog reaches ports::map, catalog have lost information about 
original router name. Is it correct? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Not to be underestimated! :-)

It seems you can however use $modue_name in a hiera search path and this is
