Nick Walker commented on FACT-2918   Re: FACTER_ environmental facts overrides don't work with external facts Kenneth Pepiton thanks for the response.  It wasn't clear from the description that this used to work and it is a regression.  During triage we thought it never worked in Puppet. I was able to reproduce that it worked in PE 2018.1.10 and does not work in PE 2019.8.4.   [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# puppet --version 6.20.0 [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# cat /opt/puppetlabs/server/pe_build 2019.8.5-rc2-160-g4af732b [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# FACTER_test_fact=blah puppet facts show | grep test "test_fact": "blah", [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# mkdir /etc/puppetlabs/facter [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# mkdir /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# vim /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test_fact.txt [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# FACTER_test_fact=blah puppet facts show | grep test "test_fact": "foo", [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test_fact.txt test_fact=foo [root@master2018110-centos ~]# FACTER_test_fact=blah puppet facts show | grep test "test_fact": "blah", [root@master2018110-centos ~]# puppet --version 5.5.23 [root@master2018110-centos ~]# cat /opt/puppetlabs/server/pe_build 2018.1.19-rc1-64-g1a7164a   [root@master2018110-centos ~]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test_fact.txt test_fact=foo We'll take a look at it.           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.
