hi Rob, I had to use a slightly different command:
hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml mysql::server::backup::backupuser environment=test ::role=mysql_server --debug [...] DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Hiera JSON backend starting DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Looking up mysql::server::backup::backupuser in JSON backend DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Looking for data source role/mysql_server DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Cannot find datafile /etc/puppet/hiera/ role/mysql_server.json, skipping DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Looking for data source common DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Cannot find datafile /etc/puppet/hiera/ common.json, skipping DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Hiera YAML backend starting DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Looking up mysql::server::backup::backupuser in YAML backend DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Looking for data source role/mysql_server DEBUG: 2016-12-21 19:14:39 +0100: Found mysql::server::backup::backupuser in role/mysql_server dbbackup So, that seems to be working, so something else must be wrong in my config files. cu denny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
