The keys are opaque to hiera, and the context of each lookup nearly so. If you want to lookup key 'puppet::puppetservertest' then that key must appear in the data -- it is a different key from 'puppetservertest', regardless of where the hiera() call appears.
Moreover, I wanted to point out that, contrary to Brian's implication, automated class parameter binding is independent of whether parameters have explicit default values. If you do not bind a parameter's value via a class's declaration (and you shouldn't) then Puppet attempts to look up a value for it via hiera, regardless of whether an explicit default value is declared by the class. Only if the hiera lookup fails is an explicit default used. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
