No value from hiera on puppet manifests when installed foreman - puppet

Question

If try to get data from module use calling_class the data don't come to puppet manifests, if put the variable to common or osfamily yaml file value will be available from manifets.
My environment:
Puppet Master 3.7.4 + Foreman 1.7 + Hiera 1.3.4
Hiera configs:
---
:backends:
- yaml
:hierarchy:
- "%{::environment}/node/%{::fqdn}" #node settings
- "%{::environment}/profile/%{calling_class}" # profile settings
- "%{::environment}/%{::environment}" # environment settings
- "%{::environment}/%{::osfamily}" # osfamily settings
- common # common settings
:yaml:
:datadir: '/etc/puppet/hiera'
/etc/puppet/hiera/production/profile/common.yaml
profile::common::directory_hierarchy:
- "C:\\SiteName"
- "C:\\SiteName\\Config"
profile::common::system: "common"
And on profile module manifest /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/profile/manifests/common.pp
class profile::common (
$directory_hierarchy =undef,
$system =undef
)
{
notify { "Dir is- $directory_hierarchy my fqdn is $fqdn, system = $system": }
}
Puppet config /etc/puppet/puppet.config
[main]
logdir = /var/log/puppet
rundir = /var/run/puppet
ssldir = $vardir/ssl
privatekeydir = $ssldir/private_keys { group = service }
hostprivkey = $privatekeydir/$certname.pem { mode = 640 }
autosign = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }
show_diff = false
hiera_config = $confdir/hiera.yaml
[agent]
classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
default_schedules = false
report = true
pluginsync = true
masterport = 8140
environment = production
certname = puppet024.novalocal
server = puppet024.novalocal
listen = false
splay = false
splaylimit = 1800
runinterval = 1800
noop = false
configtimeout = 120
usecacheonfailure = true
[master]
autosign = $confdir/autosign.conf { mode = 664 }
reports = foreman
external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb
node_terminus = exec
ca = true
ssldir = /var/lib/puppet/ssl
certname = puppet024.novalocal
strict_variables = false
environmentpath = /etc/puppet/environments
basemodulepath = /etc/puppet/environments/common:/etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules
parser = future
And the more interesting thing that if deploy the same code without foreman it will be working.
Maybe I've missed some configuration or plugins?

You need have a environment (production in your sample) folder structures as below:
/etc/puppet/hiera/environments/production/node/%{::fqdn}.yaml
/etc/puppet/hiera/environments/production/profile/%{calling_class}.yaml
/etc/puppet/hiera/environments/production/production/*.yaml
/etc/puppet/hiera/environments/production/%{::osfamily}.yaml
/etc/puppet/hiera/environments/common.yaml
So the environment path you pasted is wrong also.
/etc/puppet/hiera/production/profile/common.yaml
Side notes
By first view, shouldn't mix hieradata with modulepath, so if can, move the modules out of basemodulepath
basemodulepath = /etc/puppet/environments/common
With the puppet.conf you pasted, the real profile module path is at one of three folders:
/etc/puppet/environments/common/modules/profile
/etc/puppet/modules/profile
/usr/share/puppet/modules/profile
