Hi, I got the same errors after change from %{operatingsystem} to %{::operatingsystem}.
In the mean time, I did similar testing using puppet enterprise(default puppet is 2.7.x), which is running hiera 0.3.0 , without any problem. It nicely parse operatingsystem to Ubuntu and worked like a charm. Does this mean I can't use dynamic variable with hiera 1.1.1 in puppet 3.0.1? Btw, the return of "facter -p operatingsystem" is Ubuntu and I am aware it is case sensitive. Thanks, carl On Tuesday, December 25, 2012 2:11:49 PM UTC-5, Ygor wrote: > > OK.
