Josh Cooper commented on PUP-8660   Re: "puppet apply" should not ignore updated custom facts within the module under test Ideally puppet apply shouldn't load from the libdir cache (where the agent downloads plugins to), but changing that in a 6.x release would likely break someone. One workaround is to set the libdir setting to a non-existent directory when running puppet apply. So given a custom fact factpath: Facter.add('factpath') do setcode do "Loaded from #{__FILE__}" end end contained in both: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/factpath.rb /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/a/lib/facter/factpath.rb Puppet apply prefers the libdir version: [root@brief-hearsay facter]# puppet apply -e 'notice($facts["factpath"])' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): Loaded from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/factpath.rb Notice: Compiled catalog for brief-hearsay.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.01 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds But can be configured to ignore it: [root@brief-hearsay facter]# puppet apply -e 'notice($facts["factpath"])' --libdir /dev/null Notice: Scope(Class[main]): Loaded from /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/a/lib/facter/factpath.rb Notice: Compiled catalog for brief-hearsay.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.01 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.5.2#805002-sha1:a66f935) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
