Bug 1105597

https://github.com/redhat-openstack/openstack-puppet-modules/pull/58

The pull request has been merged. We have to update the o-p-m package with this changes

This breaks compatibility with foreman's puppetmaster (at least with hiera < 1.2.0). New backend requires hiera/filecache to exist.

As above, do *not* update o-p-m with these changes please.

This module has to be removed from o-p-m until this issue will be fixed on puppet-module-data level.

For puppet-module-data to work, BZ#1108039 and BZ#1095985
have to be fixed/addressed first.

Latest investigation shows that the module itself doesn't break foreman.
Running puppetmaster without foreman shows the same error.
Basically puupet-hiera is kicking-in but fails because puppet cannot find the hiera configuration file.

A workaround is to create a symbolic link for /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml:
---------------
$ ln -s /etc/hiera.yaml /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
---------------

Please see BZ#1108039

The report was not about missing hiera config warning nor breaking foreman. As stated before, this module is incompatible with hiera < 1.2.0 because it relies on hiera/filecache backend that was added in 1.2.0.

After uploading this module to puppetmaster it automatically creates incompatible files in /var/lib/puppet/lib which then causes puppet crash. I'll try to provide error output later so there's no more confusion.

Thanks, Marek, that's clear for hieara version, which needs to be >= 1.2.0 for the hiera/filecache.

My previous comment is incomplete. They are other other dependencies, such as the hiera.yaml and the puppet version. Upgrading puppet to a newer version allow the catalogue to execute:

rhel6:
puppet --version
3.4.0-rc2
hiera --version
1.3.2-rc2

rhel7: 

puppet --version
3.4.3
hiera --version
1.3.1

Puppet and Hiera versions have been bumped up (see BZ#1095985):
puppet --version
3.6.2
hiera --version
1.3.1

Still waiting for BZ#1108039 to fix hiera configuration file issue so the module can be added.

Here's a +1 data point to include module-data in the openstack-puppet-modules rpm.

I tested a fresh install of foreman 1.6 on EL6 with the contents of /usr/share/openstack-puppet/modules/module-data equivalent to https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-module-data/tree/159fc5e0e21ce9df96c777f0064b5eca88e29cae (what o-p-m currently points to).  I was able to deploy the host group, "HA All In One Controller" without error.

Rpm's used:
foreman-1.6.0.21-1.el6sat.noarch
puppet-3.6.2-1.el6.noarch
puppet-server-3.6.2-1.el6.noarch
hiera-1.3.1-2.el6.noarch

(In reply to Crag Wolfe from comment #12)

Thanks! module-data can now be included into RPM build.

Spec file work.

tested with OpenStack-5.0-RHEL-7 Puddle: 2014-07-23.1
rpm -qa | grep openstack-puppet
openstack-puppet-modules-2014.1-19.3.el7ost.noarch
regression passed
