Perhaps you have not yet configured hiera-simulator on this system?

Make sure you created the .hiera-simulator.yaml file in your home directory, and named it correctly.

Please see: Configuration

ERROR!!! A required parameter (parameter_name) was missing.

The name of the missing parameter is given in the error message.

The missing parameter was supposed to have been defined either in one of the configuration files, or otherwise via a command line argument. The parameters required for a query depend on your configuration (e.g., if you're using YAML or JSON data files).

Here are some common parameters you might need to define:

Parameter	Command Line Flag	Description
hiera_yaml_path	--hiera-yaml-path	(Always Required) Path to the hiera.yaml configuration file
yaml_datadir	--yaml-datadir	(Required if your hiera.yaml defines a YAML datadir) Path to the Hiera data directory which contains YAML files
json_datadir	--json-datadir	(Required if your hiera.yaml defines a JSON datadir) Path to the Hiera data directory which contains JSON files

Returns 'nil'

This means that the key you requested wasn't found in any of the Hiera datafiles.
