That might work. I'll give that a shot.

that works for sure

and if all nodes with that profile get the same config, you can omit hiera completely for the gitlab_runner

They wont, we'll have some variations amongst our runners unfortunately.

okay, then hiera is perfectly fine

This doesn't seem to work. I suspect because the content is rendered server side here: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-gitlab_ci_runner/blob/master/manifests/config.pp#L50 So unless the config was further broken up to allow for a dedicated fragment for each runner registration token, im not sure this can support being deferred.

Actually, that's the global config. But shouldn't this line cause it to defer the to_toml. Is the key wrong here though (should it be registration-token)? https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-gitlab_ci_runner/blob/master/manifests/runner.pp#L107

Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

Testing roles and profiles does usually come down to testing the role class. A tool called Onceover was written to facilitate that: https://github.com/dylanratcliffe/onceover

typically we cant answer your questions witout details, so where (the file path) on disk where you placed the module that it says it cant find. What is in it, how you set where your modules live etc

People do both. I've tended to seen more in the control repo where the code has a single owning team and there is less concern about scope and ownership rights for changes to code. Some orgs like to keep very little in their control repo since editing it can affect which modules are available and versioning. They want to ensure they can only affect the module they are updating.

I have the following data:

days:
  'Day Sunday':
    - 'Go to US'
  'Day Monday':
    - 'Back to US'
  'Day Tuesday':
    - 'Almost Wednesday'

Now I want to show

'Almost Wednesday'

by doing something like:

lookup(days)['Day Tuesday']

I am new to Puppet, especially to working with data. Who can guide me in the right direction? What is the correct way of defining the data (array, hash, something else, how is it called?) and how to look up that data?

Unless you want each day to be an array, you probably want something like:

days:
  'Day Sunday': 'Go to US'
  'Day Monday': 'Back to US'
  'Day Tuesday': 'Almost Wednesday'

one of the following?

puppet apply file.pp 
puppet apply -e "notice(lookup('days')['Day Tuesday'][0])"

puppet apply file.pp 
puppet apply -e "notice(lookup('days')['Day Tuesday'][0])"
