During a puppet-repl session any code that contains references to $server_facts would fail because those special facts did not carry across node indirector calls. I ended up reimplementing the assignment of the facts as suggested in order to provide these facts in the repl session.
Working example here: https://www.puppet-repl.com/play?content=vars Another annoyance with the node indirector is that it does not populate the facts variable as it just merges all facts and variables into the parameters variable. Any reason why this is done this way?
