Puppet users - Nov 2012 - variable not replace when come from hiera

Hi,
I use puppet 2.7.16
i try to use hiera to store file data
yaml file :
apt:
  ''/etc/apt/preferences.d'':
     ensure: directory
     recurse: true
     source: "puppet:///$environment/$module_name/preferences.d"

When i try to use it with create_resource , it fail because $environment 
and $module_name are not replace.
  $instance_apt = hiera("apt")
  $defauts = hiera("apt.defauts")
  create_resources(file,$instance_apt,$defauts)

-> 
err: /Stage[main]/Apt/File[/etc/apt/preferences.d]: Failed to generate 
additional resources using ''eval_generate: Error 400 on SERVER: Cannot
find
file: Invalid path ''$environment''


When i do the same with a hash, it work :
  $defauts = hiera("apt.defauts")
  $instance_apt = {
     "/etc/apt/preferences.d" => {   
     ensure => directory,
     recurse => true,
     source => "puppet:///$environment/$module_name/preferences.d",
     }  
  }
  create_resources(file,$instance_apt,$defauts)

Is it a bug or a* *lack of functionality ?

Regards
Fred.

Try this with;

        source: "puppet:///%{environment}/%{module_name}/preferenced.d

Your source path confuses me a bit anyway, surely your environment 
dictates your modulepath and this should just be 
puppet:///modules/%{module_name}/preferences.d ?

And, therefore, it''s probably not useful to interpolate even the 
%{module_name}.  The datum is probably used only by one module, almost 
certainly having the same name in every environment, and that module knows 
its own name.  In fact, the whole thing probably ought to be written into 
the relevant class instead of being loaded indirectly via hiera.

Hi Craig,
Your solution solve my problem.
Thank a lot.
I use this path because i want to seperate statics files and data hiera 
from puppet module (for versionning and test).
And i want also have different data with each environment.
My fileserver.conf :
[developpement]
  path /etc/puppet/puppetData/developpement/fichiers
  allow *

[production]
  path /etc/puppet/puppetData/production/fichiers
  allow *

When i try this, it don''t work
[fichiers]
  path /etc/puppet/puppetData/%{environment}/fichiers       (or 
 $environment)
  allow *

May be not the best solution but it work now.

Thank again.
Fred
