Under ruby 1.8.7, this class is not a StandardError, and so wasn't rescued. And since the can_connect? method is called when the ec2 code is loaded (as opposed to a setcode block), the exception was never caught causing facter to exit. In ruby 1.9.3, Timeout::Error is a StandardError, so the default `rescue` block catches it. This issue was caused by commit b336259e when trying to fix #17493. This commit restores the explicit rescue of Timeout::Error so that it behaves consistently on all supported ruby versions. ====================== ## Facter 1.6.16 Changelog ## ====================== Josh Cooper (1): a9dafe9 (#17855) Rescue Timeout::Error Matthaus Owens (2): 008a8d3 Remove fedora 15 mocks, as f15 is EOL. cec7b6c Update FACTERVERSION to 1.6.16 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
