Issue #10264 has been updated by Ken Barber.
Sounds like documentation confusion. I think we were premature putting it into the guide since its not even released. It is marked as 1.7.x but sounds like people aren't reading that bit. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10264: facts in facts.d do not show up when running facter from the command line https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10264 Author: Garrett Honeycutt Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.0 Following http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html, I placed a custom fact in /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/myfacts.txt with the contents <pre> myfoofact=foo </pre> When accessing this fact via a manifest, such as the following in the site manifest, it works. <pre> node 'some.node' { notice("myfoofact is ${myfoofact}") } </pre> However when running `facter myfoofact` the fact is not found. This behavior is quite confusing to people. I have seen multiple people give up saying that the custom facts are broken before even trying to use them via a manifest. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
