Re: [Puppet Users] Where do custom facter facts go on the Learning VM ? Is that the cause of these behaviors?
The facts should go into :
/etc/puppetlabs/puppets/module/hello/lib/facter/
if you do a puppet agent -t, it will deployed in the right place by puppet.
you can also do a 'puppet plugin download'
hope this helps

Re: [Puppet Users] Where do custom facter facts go on the Learning VM ? Is that the cause of these behaviors?
Thank you Andrew and Johan.
Andrew's suggestion made the fact work with Facter when run alone (outside
of Puppet) such as facter --debug -- the value of my new hello fact
shows up in the output now
Johan's suggestion got it working when I run Puppet from the commandline.
If I do puppet agent --test then I see the the value printed out with the
notify line I put in sites.pp
That helped a lot!

Re: [Puppet Users] Where do custom facter facts go on the Learning VM ? Is that the cause of these behaviors?
The simpler ruby script you gave still exhibits the same behavior. I'm sure the code in the facts I am using is correct, so I don't think it is a matter of their content. As I mentioned I have literally copied examples from the tutorial and elsewhere. If I run facter --debug all of the facts give the same error message I give above that they were parsed but returned an empty dataset. If I run puppet agent --test then it is as if my fact did not exist. Any ideas? On Wednesday, January 8, 2014 4:40:10 PM UTC-8, Nathan Valentine wrote: You are making external facts too complicated.

Re: [Puppet Users] Where do custom facter facts go on the Learning VM ? Is that the cause of these behaviors?
The Facter.add scaffolding isn't required for external facts. That's actually a key part of the design. Here's an example vagrant environment with external facts similar to your demo code: https://github.com/nrvale0/vagrant-extfacts-demo On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 5:03 PM, Shark Laser sharklaser1...@gmail.com wrote: The simpler ruby script you gave still exhibits the same behavior.

Re: [Puppet Users] Where do custom facter facts go on the Learning VM ? Is that the cause of these behaviors?
i think everything is fine with your code.
Problem might be with location.
Dont know about PE, but for facter if you do export FACTERLIB= you dir,
then you can run facter to see your custom fact
