IIRC you're doing this the hard way. The easy way: 1) Create a module: mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/facts
2) Create the pluginsync directories in your module mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/facts/lib/facter 3) Put custom facts in the directory you just made 4) Enable pluginsync on master & clients That should be it, unless I've forgotten something (which would never happen of course) ;) # ls /etc/puppet/modules/facts/ > > files > day_of_week.rb > hardware_platform.rb # = wiki example On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 11:42 AM, newguy <aimanparv...@gmail.com> wrote: > well i decided to change the route a little, I have decided to make > a .rb file for adding fact rather then the environment variable and > heres what am doing and still getting the same error: > > 1.
