Are you in position to **test** the 1.0rc branches of hiera and 
hiera-puppet?

Just tried them, unfortunately I got exactly the same error….
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: can't 
convert Array into String at 

--trace on the client (using puppet agent) hasn't given me anything useful.

I can extract the data using on the server using hiera, so it would seem to be 
something in the puppet functions. Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time 
and look at the functions in a bit more detail soon.

Re: [Puppet Users] Hiera - can't convert Array into String error

2012-06-13 Thread Wolf Noble 
I had some issues with using boolean logic with data being fed to me by hiera. 
I went for a slightly hacky option of:

might help you, might be a BadIdea(™)

(untested)


class foo::params{
bool_to_be_tempname = hiera('some_TorF_key_as_a_string')
  case bool_to_be_tempname {
[tT][rR][uU][eE]: {
  bool_to_be = true
}
default: {
  bool_to_be = false
}
  }
}

Thanks,
It appears to be something internal to the hiera function, so I'll have to go 
digging in there to find out what's going on.

Cheers
