---------------------------------------- Bug #10490: macaddress fact errors when no macadress can be found https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10490 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: 1.6.x Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: In `lib/facter/macaddress.rb` facter runs `ifconfig -a` on Linux and returns the first occurrence of the following regex as the macaddress <pre> /(?:ether|HWaddr) (\w{1,2}:\w{1,2}:\w{1,2}:\w{1,2}:\w{1,2}:\w{1,2})/ </pre> But facter does not handle the case where none of the printed lines actually match the regular expression. E.g. (taken from #10392) <pre> # /sbin/ifconfig -a |egrep 'ether|HWaddr' venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 </pre> Actual error message <pre> Could not retrieve macaddress: private method split' called for nil:NilClass </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
