Jira (FACT-1874) Environment variable-supplied facts should be resolved prior to confines

[Sean Millichamp (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Sean Millichamp created an issue   Facter / FACT-1874 Environment variable-supplied facts should be resolved prior to confines Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: FACT 3.11.3 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/08/10 2:13 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Sean Millichamp When testing another issue I discovered that facts supplied as environment variables are evaluated after confines, and therefore can't be used to override/supply a value for a confine based on a fact. Given a fact in envfact/myfact.rb: Facter.add(:myfact) do confine matchfact: 'matches' setcode do "fact results" end end where "matchfact" otherwise does not exist, I would expect this to work: $ FACTER_matchfact=matches facter --custom-dir=envfact -d myfact but instead it returns nothing. A look at the debug logs clearly shows the environment variable-based facts not resolving until after the custom fact. Thank you.
