@lordnynex -- unfortunately this is a shortcoming of Hiera itself.
Here's Hiera::Backend.datasourcefiles
def datasourcefiles(backend, scope, extension, override=nil, hierarchy=nil)
datadir = Backend.datadir(backend, scope)
Backend.datasources(scope, override, hierarchy) do |source|
Hiera.debug("Looking for data source #{source}")
file = datafile_in(datadir, source, extension)
if file
yield source, file
end
end
end
And here's Hiera::Backend::Yaml_backend
Backend.datasourcefiles(:yaml, scope, "yaml", order_override) do |source, yamlfile|
Because the YAML backend hardcodes "yaml"
as the argument bound to extension
, the only way for us to override it is to subclass Hiera::Backend::Yaml_backend
and invoke datasourcefiles
with "yml"
as well. This is probably overkill, but maybe we should at least warn users about the issue.
Hello,
Just spent a fair bit of time chasing an obscure exception (filing in a separate issue). It appears the code is looking for a default 'common.yaml' (emphasis on yAml). It's pretty common to abbreviate .yaml to .yml. May be a good feature to detect the alternate condensed .yml extension.
