Platform: I've downloaded and installed the learning VM. This system runs CentOS with Facter v1.7.3 and Puppet v3.3.1 (Puppet Enterprise 3.1.0).
I've created a fact called hello.rb with the following content: Facter.add(:hello) do setcode do "Hello world!" end end I've placed the file in /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d (I made this directory since the tutorial said to create it if it did not exist). I added a line to /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp for the default node: notify { $::hello: } . If I run puppet agent --test, it behaves as if my custom fact does not exist: Notice: undef Notice: /Stage[main]//Node[default]/Notify[undef]/message: defined 'message' as 'undef' So then the instructions said we could debug the fact by running facter --debug. If I do this, I see an error: Fact file /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/hello.rb was parsed but returned an empty data set I thought this meaningful but the same error will occur for any Facter custom fact I put in there. Even verbatim copy/paste jobs from known working examples off the tutorial. Does anyone know what is going on? I can't tell if the fact is in the wrong directory for Puppet when it uses Facter, but for some reason Facter sees it when run in standalone? If the latter is the case, why do I get these parse errors despite having valid source?
