sync environments dir

[ebenezar-mccoy]

Hello,

i have case to test whole /etc/puppetlabs/code with main hiera.yaml and environments with it's own hieras

my kitchen.yml

---
driver:
  name: docker
  use_sudo: false

provisioner:
  name: puppet_apply
  puppet_debug: true
  puppet_verbose: true
  require_chef_for_busser: false
  require_puppet_repo: false
  manifests_path: manifests
  modules_path: modules
  hiera_data_path: hieradata
  puppet_environmentpath_remote_path: /tmp/environments
  puppet_environment: some_environment
  puppet_environment_remote_hieradata_path: data

platforms:
- name: ubuntu

suites:
 - name: default
   driver_config:
     privileged: true
     run_command: /sbin/init
     dockerfile: Dockerfile
     hostname: some_name_for_facts

i currently have separate process uploading the environments directory with rsync to /tmp/environments

then i run converge once again to check for results,

my question: is there configuration option that copy environments directory for me ?

[neillturner]

I have an example repo that demonstrates how to use environments with kitchen-puppet so it copies the environment
https://github.com/neillturner/puppet_vagrant_environment_repo
the puppet environment files can be in the same repository or external to the repository as long as they are accessible
but it only does one environment at a time,

[ebenezar-mccoy]

your example dosn't involve coping hiera from both locations

my main hiera.yaml ( with users and general setup for all boxes is in )
/ at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/code/hiera.yaml

and under environments
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/code/environments/data/

here are two directories data and func,

under data and func there are several yaml files.

could you please help how can i do that ?

I support hiera.global.yaml in addition to hiera.yaml but otherwise don't support this user case
