How do I check what version of Hiera is installed on Puppet?

Question

I tried looking this up in facter, but I couldn't find it there.

Answer 1

If you want to find out the version of Hiera and make it a fact you can use within a manifest, you can do something like this:

Facter.add(:hiera_version) do
  setcode do
    require 'hiera/version'
    Hiera.version.to_s
  end
end
