    The

    function: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/function.html#type e.g.
    Copy code
    $foo = ["bar"]

    Sorry for the simple question - thank you for the help

    Hmmm - Not sure if that helps too much, I’m guessing this must be an array of Hashes ?
  • p
    Copy code
    Notice: The dumped variable is Struct[{'developmentb' => Struct[{'someattribute' => String, 'anotherattribute' => String}], 'developmentc' => Struct[{'someattribute' => String, 'anotherattribute' => String}]}]
  • n
    It’s a hash of hashes.

    Try 
    message => "The dumped variable is ${type($foo, 'generalized')}",

    Great - that’s a bit more human readable for me 🙂

    docker image seems kind of pointless, when you can just 
    gem install r10k
    , or better, use the puppet-r10k module to install it

    I had to use a fork of the abrader-gms module to get R10k to work properly on RHEL7/RHEL8. The merge request has been pending for quite a long time. 
    mod 'abrader-gms',
    :git => '<https://github.com/bjvrielink/abrader-gms.git>',
    :ref => 'fixup'

    In my case, I’m wanting an array of hashes, so I think the correct way for me to define this in Hiera is:
  • p
    Copy code
    profile::stream_web::config:
  muc:
    - 'developmentb':
       someattribute: 'here'
       anotherattribute: 'here'
    - 'developmentc':
       someattribute: 'here'
       anotherattribute: 'here'
  • n
    Incorrect. That’s a hash which contains one key which contains an array of hashes.
  • n
    $profile::stream_web::config
    would be a hash, to clarify.
  • n
    $profile::stream_web::config
    would be a hash, to clarify.
  • p
    Ah sorry - at the top of my manifest I’m doing this:
  • p
    $muc = $config[‘muc’]
  • n
    Ah, gotcha. Then yeah, 
    $muc
    is an array of hashes.
  • p
    When attempting to iterate via this:
  • p
    each ($muc) |$value| { $d1 = $value[‘someattribute’] notify{“$d1”:} }
  • p
    I’m getting “Empty string title at 0. Title strings must have a length greater than zero.”
  • n
    You indentation is wrong in the YAML, so it’s throwing off the data type. Try:
    Copy code
    profile::stream_web::config:
  muc:
    - developmentb:
        someattribute: 'here'
        anotherattribute: 'here'
    - developmentc:
        someattribute: 'here'
        anotherattribute: 'here'

    Yeah - unfortunately get a Duplicate declaration: Notify[d1]
  • p
    Have changed to this, but am unfortunately still getting $d1 empty with this code:
  • p
    Copy code
    class profile::stream_web (
  $config = [],
) {

  $muc = $config['muc']
  $muc.each |Hash $value| {
    $d1 = $value['someattribute']
    notify { "$d1": }
  }
  • p
    If I just dump out $value instead like this:
  • p
    Copy code
    class profile::stream_web (
  $config = [],
) {

  $muc = $config['muc']
  $muc.each |Hash $value| {
    notify {"$value":}
    #$d1 = $value['someattribute']
    #notify { "$d1": }
  }
