i'll give that a look i just tore everything down and it's all reinstalling right now

Is it possible to call a puppet function from inside a hiera data yml file ( like common.yml ). The use case would be to “unwrap” a secret

No. From within a Hiera data file, you can only use this small set of "interpolation functions", not arbitrary Puppet functions: https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_merging.html#interpolation_functions

Also, the

Sensitive

type (which is what would be unwrapped) isn't really a primitive known to Hiera. It's a Puppet type. So a value can't be Sensitive while it's in Hiera. It can be looked up then converted to Sensitive for use in Puppet code, but while it's in Hiera, there's no concept of "Sensitive". https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_merging.html#setting_lookup_options_to_refine_the_result_of_a_lookup-make-hiera-return-data-by-casting

Hello. Previously it was possible to add a newer version of the facterdb gem in .sync.yaml in a repository managed by PDK to get a newer gem version. However in PDK 2.6.0 facterdb gem is included in Gemfile already and is not replaced but an additional line is added for facterdb causing error because of duplicate definition. Is it possible to replace existing lines in Gemfile? Cannot see anything stated in the documentation about it. Thanks.

Tried changing

gem "facterdb", ~> 1.18',

to `gem "facterdb", '`~> 1.21', in Gemfile manually but now when running pdk validate or pdk test it fails with:

NameError: uninitialized constant Concurrent::RubyThreadLocalVar
Did you mean? Concurrent::RubyThreadPoolExecutor

Instead of an if and an empty I would use https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/function.html#getvar which can have a default value to use if its undefined, for example So <%= getvar($server2['protocol'],'TCP') -%>

var / getvar only came in as part of Puppet 6 so it may just reflect how coding was previously done to be fair to example author

getvar(server2.protocol,'TCP')

getvar('server2.protocol','TCP')

getvar(server2.protocol,'TCP') Sorry should have had quotes getvar('server2.protocol','TCP')

I've looked through a few dozen .epp files but I'm not finding anything that looks like padding or left-justification.

I'm trying to improve this template by consolidating the duplicate stuff into a loop that detects the size of the "server" hash.

So my pseudo-code is "if server hash size is greater than one then change the indentation of the (ADDRESS) lines.
