Jira (FACT-1898) Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths
Title: Message Title Gene Liverman created an issue Facter / FACT-1898 Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/12/19 6:54 AM Labels: customer0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Gene Liverman A core part of writing a good script on Windows is using some of the stock environment variables instead of assuming you always know what drive is the system drive and where Windows itself are installed. The same reasons that this is important when scripting are important when writing Puppet code yet there is no way for us to use this info. I am requesting that we provide this info as core facts or, if that is not acceptable, as part of a supported module. People such as Ethan Brown, Glenn Sarti, John O'Connor, William Hurt, and Michael Lombardi will likely know more of what should be contained in something like this but, at a minimum, I think it should the file paths listed on https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-variables.html Having this info in Puppet contributes directly to Windows being a first-class part of our ecosystem. FWIW, I am happy to contribute to the work to make this happen once a decision about where it should live has been reached. I imagine Daniel Parks would be too due to recent work he's been doing.

Title: Message Title Gene Liverman commented on FACT-1898 Re: Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths After discussion in the Puppet Windows HipChat room it sounds like a module is the path forward here. I am going to start creating one in the ploperations namespace to get the ball rolling. /cc James Pogran Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.

Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on FACT-1898 Re: Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths I think this is a duplicate/subset of an old ticket that was basically "expose the entire environment as facts!". We didn't do that at the time due to its broad scope, but I believe there are reasonable use cases for exposing some of this as facts. I'd love to chat with you sometime about which env vars you've found the most need for.

Jira (FACT-1898) Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths
Title: Message Title Sean McDonald commented on FACT-1898 Re: Provide core facts or supported module with common Windows paths Since this seems solved in modules we would prefer to keep actual fact implementation out of the core facter implementation and inside modules. If we can build the important windows env vars in to a module we could even include that module with the core set of modules that ship 'batteries included' with the agent. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to re-open this ticket with reasoning on why it's important that this stay in core facter. /cc Branan Riley Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
