Hi,
We just started our trials with puppet6 (upgrading from puppet5) on FreeBSD,
and while we think we have a pretty good grip on most things that we need to
do, there is one mind-bending problem we're having: When running the Puppet
Agent on the Puppetserver instance itself, it never prints "Loading facts.."
and then errors out complaining about unassigned variables (like
$operatingsystemrelease, for instance).
Running 'puppet facts' only gives this:
# puppet facts
{
"name": "puppet.pmn.nyc.modirum.com",
"values": {
"trusted": {
"domain": "pmn.nyc.modirum.com",
"certname": "puppet.pmn.nyc.modirum.com",
"hostname": "puppet",
"extensions": {
},
"authenticated": "remote"
}
},
"timestamp": "2019-06-17T10:02:03.156284600+00:00"
}
On any other node, we get the usual huge amount of data. Interestingly, running
'facter -p' also gives the expected result.
Running 'puppet facts --debug' shows indications that it is attempting to laod
facts (see snippets below), but they aren't printed at the end. Facts caching
is not the issue (there is no facter config on the puppetserver node, so no
caching is taking place).
The configuration is exactly the same we've used for puppet5, where the agent
runs happily on the puppetserver. It has simply been a matter of pkg delete
puppet* puppetdb* / pkg install puppet6 puppetserver6 puppetdb6
puppetdb-terminus6.
I have a vage recollection of having seen this problem before, but it's many
years ago and I have an even more vague recollection (as in none at all) of
what was done to fix it. It's probably unrelated anyway.
