Getting puppetlabs-apt module apt::ppa working in puppet hiera

Question

I'm using the puppetlabs-apt forge module together with hiera in puppet 3.8.5.

Adding apt::sources works:

apt::sources:
  'ubuntu':
    location: 'http://server.com/ubuntu'
    release: "%{::lsbdistcodename}"
    repos: 'main restricted universe multiverse'

... but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to add apt::ppa's to the hiera yaml.

I have tried:

apt::ppa:
   'ppa:webupd8team/java':
     ensure: 'present'

... and:

apt::ppa:'ppa:webupd8team/java'::ensure: 'present'

... but no luck.

Has anybody else got this working?

I have found that `apt::ppa` only works within a manifest if you first `include ::apt`. For that reason, I doubt it will work in `hiera` like this and I would consider it a flaw/bug in the module. — jordanm, Apr 23 '16 at 16:59

For those (like me) who found this while googling;

apt::ppa:
  'ppa:webupd8team/java':
    ensure: 'present'

now works. ( Puppet 4.10, hiera 5, puppetlabs/apt v1.4.0 )

If you found that elsewhere in a search, consider also including a link to the source. Welcome to ServerFault! – Matthew Wetmore Jul 20 '17 at 06:17
A coworker of mine came to this conclusion using trial-and-error, but I'll make sure to keep that in mind ! – Edwin Koster Jul 20 '17 at 16:07
