Jeff McCune created an issue   Facter / FACT-1283 facter --puppet doesn't load plugin synced facts in PE 2015.3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 3.1.3 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/12/08 9:45 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jeff McCune I'm working on site with $customer, and I'm running into the following strange behavior with diagnosing a custom fact synchronized via pluginsync to a PE 2015.3 agent. The impact data is that this fact affects all of the puppet manifests for $customer and they're a paying PE customer. They're evaluating the work required to upgrade from 3.8.x to 2015.x. Expected behavior: After a successful puppet agent -t run that synchronizes a single custom fact located at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/plugins/lib/facter/apache.rb, $customer wants to debug why the fact value is not what they expect it to be, so they run facter --puppet expecting to see a value for a fact named apache_exists. Actual behavior: No such fact exists, implying the synchronized fact is loaded. Additional steps to reproduce: Install pry using sudo /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install pry --no-ri --no-rdoc. Place require 'pry'; binding.pry; in the first line of the custom fact. Synchronize the fact with puppet agent -t, observe Puppet dropping into a Pry REPL. Try facter --puppet and observe no REPL behavior, implying the fact is not loaded. Additional steps to conform: Manually augmenting the ruby load path evaluates the custom fact from the pluginsync location: vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ RUBYLIB=/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib facter -p 2015-12-09 05:44:09.019021 WARN puppetlabs.facter - skipping external facts for "/home/vagrant/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/facts.d": No such file or directory History file not loaded: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /home/vagrant/.pry_history   From: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/apache.rb @ line 1 :   => 1: require 'pry'; binding.pry; 2: Facter.add(:apache_exists) do ...
