Jira (FACT-2740) 'gce' fact missing in Facter 4.x

Title: Message Title

Nate McCurdy created an issue

The core fact 'gce' is missing from Facter 4 when run on a Google Cloud instance.

I expected by Google Cloud instance to have a 'gce' fact that resolves to the metadata of the GCE instance just like it does in Facter 3.

On a GCE instance, start with Facter 3.x that ships with puppet-agent 5 or 6:

$ facter --version

3.11.8 (commit eb5f71136af5012f3a7169ed3a77a111c1e4d765)

$ facter gce | head

  instance => {

    attributes => {

      boot-script => "#!/usr/bin/python

# Read this for more information on the startup-script process

# https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/step-by-step-guide/setting-metadata-and-startup-scripts

import fcntl

import json

$ facter gce --json | jq '.gce | keys'

  "instance",

  "oslogin",

  "project"

Then install the Facter 4.0.33 gem and run facter gce:

$ sudo /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install facter-4.0.33.gem thor-1.0.1.gem hocon-1.3.1.gem --no-doc

Successfully installed hocon-1.3.1

facter's executable "facter" conflicts with /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/facter

Overwrite the executable? [yN]  y

Successfully installed facter-4.0.33

Successfully installed thor-1.0.1

Successfully installed hocon-1.3.1

4 gems installed

$ facter --version

4.0.33

$ facter gce
