I am also having the same issue you were having. When I removed the
'%{environment}' part of the datadir, hiera works fine, however for me to
have different development stages, I need to be able to specify
environments so I don't accidentally take down production with a change to
hiera variable. Did anyone find a way for this to work?
:yaml:
:datadir: '/etc/puppet/environments/%{environment}/hieradata/'
