I tried this, finally.
For me the generated hiera.yaml is missing the puppet backend.
I changed it a little.
:backends:
- yaml
- puppet
:puppet:
:datasource: data
Apart from the question if this is a change that should go into the
generated hiera.yaml , if someone has special needs, it would help if
the hiera.yaml is not overwritten every time. If it exists, leave it alone.
Another idea: to provide per-test-data I could say
:hierarchy:
- %spec_hiera
- spec_hiera
an set a spec_hiera fact in the rspec test.
I didn't try that because I ran into another error message
15) mdraid active mdraid
Failure/Error: :ensure => nil)
Puppet::Error:
can't convert nil into String at ...
These errors happens at those lines in the manifests when hiera is
called. I did a very simple dtrace for the open syscalls and hiera.yaml
is opened once, for writing I assume. I would have expected that it
would have to be read afterwards by hiera. spec/fixtures/spec_hiera.yaml
is not tried at all.
I don't know how to properly debug this.
Sorry for the long delay,
Markus
