Hi, Facter value is not reflecting in puppet manifest.
Along with books ProPuppet and "Puppet 2.7 Cookbook", I am referring to following links: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Adding_Facts http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/select-a-file-based-on-a-fact.html http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/faq.html#how-do-all-of-these-variables-like-operatingsystem-get-set http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8b2424f5347bbcc7/c2af30e123c92e91 For my test set-up I have 2 ec2 instances, one puppet master and one puppet agent. Both instances have Ubuntu 10.04 and have following version of puppet and facter: root@master:~# puppet --version 2.7.9 root@master:~# facter --version 1.6.4 On master /etc/puppet/puppet.conf has plugindest = /var/lib/puppet/lib pluginsource = puppet://puppet/plugins pluginsync = true I tried hardcoding pluginsource to fqdn of puppet master, but it didn't work. Also 'puppet master --genconfig | grep plugin' also gaves same results as puppet.conf. On master I have my change.erb on modulepath/module_name/lib/facter/change.rb as well as on /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/change.erb. At both places it has execute permissions. change.erb looks like: Facter.add("change") do setcode do Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(%q<su - ubuntu -c "cd '/tmp/bloomspot/'; hg parent | head -1 | awk -F: '{print \$NF}'">).chomp end end My manifests looks like: exec { 'copy-code': command => "mkdir /tmp/$change", user => 'root', path => "/usr/bin", cwd => '/tmp', logoutput => true, } Snippet of client log after running puppet agent: Feb 7 20:08:14 ip-10-12-59-93 puppet-agent[1766]: (Exec[copy-code](provider=posix)) Executing 'mkdir /tmp/ ' Feb 7 20:08:14 ip-10-12-59-93 puppet-agent[1766]: Executing 'mkdir /tmp/ ' Feb 7 20:08:14 ip-10-12-59-93 puppet-agent[1766]: (/Stage[main]/Codebaserel/Exec[copy-code]/returns) executed successfully Feb 7 20:08:14 ip-10-12-59-93 puppet-agent[1766]: (/Stage[main]/Codebaserel/Exec[copy-code]) The container Class[Codebaserel] will propagate my refresh event Feb 7 20:08:14 ip-10-12-59-93 puppet-agent[1766]: (Class[Codebaserel]) The container Stage[main] will propagate my refresh event Also, in puppet logs I don't see anything mentioned about the fact being pulled/pushed to client. On client, after setting RUBYLIB and copying changeset.erb in $RUBYLIB/facter, I confirmed that script can run fine on the client: root@agent:~# facter -p | grep -i change change => d65575bc8f5f root@agent:~# facter -p change d65575bc8f5f root@agent:~# facter change d65575bc8f5f Manually ruby script is running fine on the agent. Rest of the puppet modules are running fine. All the required configs seems to have appropriate value. What am I missing? Any pointer/suggestions would be helpful.
