Jail defaults does not respect path paramater

[zachfi]

    class { 'jails':
      defaults             => {
        'interface'        => $default_interface,
        'allow_mount'      => true,
        'exec_start'       => '/bin/sh /etc/rc',
        'exec_stop'        => '/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown',
        'exec_clean'       => true,
        'mount_devfs'      => true,
        'mount.zfs'        => true,
        'enforce_statfs'   => 1,
        'path'             => '/jails/$name',
      }
    }

The above jails class does not seem to respect the path option here, which should default to its name. For example, the following line in jail.conf will allow wildcard jail roots.

path = "/jails/$name";

What is the result in your jail config when setting path to '/jails/$name' then?

When I define the following:

jails::defaults:
  path:              '/jails/$name'
jails::jails:
  test:
    host_hostname: 'foo.bar.org'

I end up with a /etc/jail.d/test.conf looking like this:

# File managed by Puppet
# Do not edit manualy as your changes will be overwritten
# and might cause this jail to restart!

# jail definition for test
test {
    path = "/jails/$name";
    host.hostname = "foo.bar.org";
    exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
    exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
}

I think I don't understand the actual issue right here :)

Well you are getting something different than I am getting, and while I am not using hiera, I conceptually have a similar thing that you do. I will take a harder look at the code. I'm in the middle of converting all my jails to this module. I don't see other defaults at all that I am expecting either. For example, the default interface. I have

    class { 'jails':
      defaults => {
        'interface'   => $default_interface,
        'allow_mount' => true,
        'exec_start'  => '/bin/sh /etc/rc',
        'exec_stop'   => '/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown',
        'exec_clean'  => true,
        'mount_devfs' => true,
      }
    }

But in my jails I am missing the mount_devfs, exec_clean, and interface configs. Still digging, but thats what I'm seeing.

    class { 'jails':
      defaults             => {
        'interface'        => $default_interface,
        'allow_mount'      => true,
        'exec_start'       => '/bin/sh /etc/rc',
        'exec_stop'        => '/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown',
        'exec_clean'       => true,
        'mount_devfs'      => true,
        'mount.zfs'        => true,
        'enforce_statfs'   => 1,
        'path'             => '/jails/$name',
        #'allow.socket_af' => true,
      }
    }
  jails::jail { 'graphite1':
    host_hostname => 'graphite1.example',
    ip6_addr      => 'fc00::123',
    ip4_addr      => '192.168.1.10'
  }

Yields the following in /etc/jail.d/graphite1.conf:

graphite1 {
    path = "/jails/$name";
    ip4.addr = "192.168.1.10";
    ip6.addr = "fc00::123";
    host.hostname = "graphite1.example";
    exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
    exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
}

In this example $path is recognized but not the rest of the options in default. Perhaps there is some parse thing going on here. This is odd.

I think I've just learned that defaults are not actually default for anything other than the hiera jails.
