Issue #3704 has been reported by Sebastian Kayser. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3704: Facter doesn't return booleans (converts them to strings instead) http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3704
Author: Sebastian Kayser Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: I am just getting started with puppet/facter and it took me a quite while to realize that facter seems to convert custom boolean facts to strings (tried boolean comparisons in my puppet recipes for ages before realizing it). This has also been reported here http://groups.google.de/group/puppet-users/msg/c1939ed3b4404668 where Luke asked to file a bug report. As I couldn't find one, here it goes. Example: <pre> $ ls test.pp test.rb $ cat test.rb Facter.add("myfact") do setcode do true end end $ cat test.pp notice($myfact) if $myfact == true { notice("Boolean ... just like I expected!") } else { if $myfact == 'true' { notice("Houston ... it's a string!") }} $ FACTERLIB=. puppet test.pp notice: Scope(Class[main]): true notice: Scope(Class[main]): Houston ... it's a string! $ puppet --version 0.25.4 $ facter --version 1.5.7 </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
