[Puppet Users] Puppet 3.1, Hiera and a class parameter called service

2013-04-17 Thread Matthias Saou
Hi,

I'm trying to clean up some manifests by moving class parameters which
I change globally to Hiera lookups.

I've been fighting with a boolean parameter for the last hour. My class
has a parameter called $service, to enable/disable its service (duh!).

When I try to set mymodule::service: false from Hiera, it's ignored
for some reason, and the $service variable inside mymodule is always
true, because that's the default.

If I pass a string, it gets across just fine. I just can't get the one
useful value, which is the boolean opposite of the default...

Other variable names don't seem to have this problem. It seems that
I've been bitten once more by mostly-working-but-reserved-somewhere
variable names.

Does anyone know Hiera internals enough to confirm this?

Do I have any options other than renaming the parameter?

Matthias

Perhaps try using the str2bool function from puppetlabs-stdlib [1].
