Hiera was properly working in my environment. But puppet was looking at old version even when I have the latest hiera gem installed. So I could'nt use json backend. But puppet is not looking at my latest hiera gem. Not sure when went wrong here. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0 /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0 Later when I updated to new version of hiera then it installed (via gem install) under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-1.1.1 /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-1.0.0 Puppet was always using the hiera under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/, so I was unable to use new features of hiera I have uninstalled hiera-0.3.0 manually using gem sudo gem uninstall --install-dir /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/ hiera
Then Puppet failed to find hiera() function, so its always looking under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems. Later I installed hiera using gem and explicitly specified to install under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems Now puppet cannot even find hiera() err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not autoload hiera_include: no such file to load -- /opt/puppet/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/functions/hiera_include.rb at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/development/manifests/site.pp:46 on node Looks like some thing wrong with my gem path or my puppet load path is not. Any idea what went wrong here? Using Ubuntu12.04LTS, PE 2.7, Hiera1.2 Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Sai.
