so I've set a hiera key, and trying to display some different data in motd depending on if the value of said key is true or false… it gets set accordingly.. but my motd template doesn't seem to be properly reacting when the value of it changes..
it's as if the variable never matches "true" not sure what I'm doing wrong here…. I SUSPECT 'true' isn't being perceived as such somehow… Can anyone spot what I'm missing? bash-3.2$ cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/core/manifests/values.pp # # core::values # a class for namespaceing variables not specifically linked to any other module. class core::values { $foostatus = hiera('core_values_foo') } bash-3.2$ cat hieradata/(extraneous tree pruned)/Prod/common.yaml core_values_foo: - true bash-3.2$ cat hieradata//common.yaml core_values_foo: - false bash-3.2$ cat core/motd/templates/motd.erb <% foostatus = scope.lookupvar('core::values::foostatus') -%> ## Configuration Notice ##---------------------------------- The configuration of <%= hostname -%> is managed by Puppet. ### QuickStats from last puppetrun RAM: <%= memorysize -%> :: <%= lsbdistdescription %> Kernel: <%= kernelrelease %> Internal IP: <%= ipaddress %> ########################################################### <% if foostatus == "true" -%> | foo is true | `****************************************************' <% else -%> | foo is not true | `****************************************************' <% end-%> <%= foostatus %> bash-3.2$ [root@bookworm ~]# cat /etc/motd ## Configuration Notice ##---------------------------------- The configuration of bookworm is managed by Puppet. ### QuickStats from last puppetrun RAM: 512.18 MB :: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) Kernel: 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5xen Internal IP: 123.123.123.123 ########################################################### | foo is not true | `****************************************************' true if I remove the entry which is setting it to true in hieradata/(pruned)Prod/common.yaml: [root@bookworm ~]# cat /etc/motd ## Configuration Notice ##---------------------------------- The configuration of bookworm is managed by Puppet. ### QuickStats from last puppetrun RAM: 512.18 MB :: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) Kernel: 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5xen Internal IP: 123.123.123.123 ########################################################### | foo is not true | `****************************************************' false ________________________________ This message may contain confidential or privileged information.
