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 a
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.

hope this helps

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.
