Title: Message Title Thomas Hallgren commented on PUP-7096 Re: lookup --explain can be unclear about results This might boil down to a documentation issue. The output of lookup can be controlled. It's done using the option --render-as. The default when not using --explain is to output the found value as yaml. puppet lookup --render-as json environment_key2 "env value2" puppet lookup --render-as console environment_key2 env value2 The output from --explain can also be controlled using --render-as but the default output is indented text. It shows: layer (global, env, module) hierarchy entry within layer path for specific entry

Title: Message Title Eric Thompson commented on PUP-7096 Re: lookup --explain can be unclear about results i forgot about --render-as "with --explain most of the explanation is removed" – i meant that i removed most of the --explain output in my examples to keep the example short.

Title: Message Title Thomas Hallgren commented on PUP-7096 Re: lookup --explain can be unclear about results @erict, do you think that documentation that explains that a) a lookup is nested (layer -> hierarchy entry -> paths), b) that the nesting is reflected by the indentation, and c) that each level is subject to merges, would help here? I can see how the output is confusing unless this nesting is known. The nesting is however happening and I'm not sure how to visualize it in a better way.

Title: Message Title Henrik Lindberg assigned an issue to Lindsey Smith The basic issue here is that the output from --explain explains something that is quite complex. We do need to have documentation regarding how to debug hiera, and that should include understanding the output of --explain. The output could also benefit from input from UX.
