Specifying --node on puppet lookup always fails with No facts available for target node

[J-Verz]

Describe the Bug

When trying to lookup Hiera data using puppet lookup foo --node node.example.com, I always get No facts available for target node: node.example.com. This even happens if I enter the hostname of the node I am on. If I leave off the --node option I get results for the current node like expected.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to lookup node-specific Hiera data by specifying the node with --node

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a hiera.yaml like so

version: 5

defaults:
  datadir: hieradata
  data_hash: yaml_data

hierarchy:
  - name: Per-node data
    path: "nodes/%{trusted.certname}.yaml"

  - name: Common data
    path: common.yaml

2. Create a hieradata/common.yaml like so:

foo: common

3. Create a node-specific file hieradata/nodes/node.example.com.yaml like so:

foo: node

4. Run puppet lookup foo --node node.example.com
5. Get Error: Could not run: No facts available for target node: node.example.com as result
