I was going to suggest that you add some debugging output to the template to show the values of the test variables, but in fact, the regular output tells the story. Note that it does *not* contain NODE_PORT=UNSET NODE_IP_ADDRESS=UNSET , which is what you might expect it to print if the conditionals were somehow not working. The variables do not contain the values you think they do. My first guess would be that the Puppet variables you are trying to access from the template are neither global nor local to the scope in which the template is evaluated. Perhaps they belong to a parent scope. In particular, note that defined type bodies establish their own scopes. To my knowledge, defined-type instances do not inherit variables from the class that declares them (though they can reference class variables by all the normal mechanisms).
