Jira (PUP-4695) acceptance test: call all hiera functions from ERB templates

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-4695   Re: acceptance test: call all hiera functions from ERB templates While it may seem crazy, it is possible to get the wanted behavior by evaluating puppet code in the ERB template (or anywhere in a 3.x function by doing he below (e.g. calling the function foo with a string argument): scope = self # i.e. in ERB and functions arg = 'hello, I am the argument' evaluator = Puppet::Pops::Parser::EvaluatingParser.new result = evaluator.evaluate_string( scope, "foo('#{arg}')", "nested puppet code in #{__FILE__}" ) A function called this way can be implemented in 3.x or 4.x, there is no issue with parameter conversion (since it is expressed using the Puppet Language), and it will get proper error handling / a message that include the location "nested puppet code in..." with a reference to the ruby file that the puppet source is nested in. This is a good workaround because it gets all the mechanisms and semantics as if the call had been written in Puppet. The call itself is a high level call that is unlikely to change. This work around can be used with both 3.x future parser and 4.0.
