Issue #7192 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs Decision to Duplicate
Duplicate of #7039 Even though the descriptions look different, it's the same underlying cause (and fix) ---------------------------------------- Bug #7192: 'facter customfactname' doesn't work, but 'facter |grep customfactname' does. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7192 Author: Greg Retkowski Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
