Title: Message Title Gabriel Nagy commented on FACT-3076 Re: Custom facts cannot reference external facts Hey Robert Berry, If you're using a recent enough version of Puppet 6, you can enable Facter 4 on a per-agent basis by setting facterng to true in puppet.conf (or on a per-run basis with puppet agent -t --facterng). We recommend you to be on the latest Puppet 6 version before you do this, so you benefit from the latest updates that went in Facter 4.

Title: Message Title Robert Berry commented on FACT-3076 Re: Custom facts cannot reference external facts Hi Josh, Our Puppet fleet is huge and the binaries are managed by multiple teams, depending on platform. We have not yet scoped the migration to Puppet 7/Facter 4. Does Facter 4 include test cases for this behavior? Thanks Rob.
