Jira (FACT-2934) Facter::Core::Execution does not set status variables in Facter 4

[Charlie Sharpsteen (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Charlie Sharpsteen commented on FACT-2934   Re: Facter::Core::Execution does not set status variables in Facter 4 I think this is occurring because Facter 4 implements Facter::Core::Execution using Open3.popen3: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/4.0.49/lib/facter/custom_facts/core/execution/base.rb#L73 However, Open3 calls Process.detach which spawns a thread to reap the child process. This consumes the exit status of the child without setting the global status variables: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/v2_7_2/lib/open3.rb#L214 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.
