Hi,
I'm trying to do the exact same thing without success. If I understand the
Hiera documentation correctly [1], this should be possible (although, I may
be misunderstanding this documentation). The only workaround I have
currently is to turn the top-scope variable (provided by my ENC) into a
fact using something like:
file { "/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/group.txt":
content => "group=$group",
}
However, this has it's disadvantages, because the $::group fact doesn't
become available until after the puppet run that declares the file resource.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh
