Affected Facter version: 1.5.9
I've found a bug where custom facts that I have aren't displayed if I invoke
'facter factname' - however if I invoke 'facter |grep factname' they appear.
Afaict this is a regression to old behaviour, as versions prior to 1.5.8 would
not show custom fact names, 1.5.8 does show custom fact names, and 1.5.9 now
does not show custom fact names.
I've narrowed it down to a call Factor.to_hash - it was always called in 1.5.8,
but only called when no fact names are given in 1.5.9. Here's my irb session
that shows the behaviour..
<pre>
irb(main):001:0> require 'facter'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Facter.fact('site_type')
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> Facter.to_hash;true
=> true
irb(main):004:0> Facter.fact('site_type')
=> #<Facter::Util::Fact:0x2b4852ae8f38 @ldapname="site_type", @value="support",
@searching=false, @name=:site_type,
@resolves=[#<Facter::Util::Resolution:0x2b4852ae8df8 @value=nil,
@suitable=true, @confines=[], @name=:site_type,
@code=#<Proc:0x00002b48533783d8@/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/facter_machdb.rb:55>,
@timeout=0>]>
</pre>
In facter.rb, around line 97, methods are added to the class; certain methods
(list, to_hash) invoke 'collection.load_all' where other methods (fact, value)
don't invoke collection.load_all. My custom facts only appear to load when
collection.load_all is invoked.
