Issue #11732 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Subject changed from Facter (in master) is broken on Windows to Facter (in
1.6.x) is broken on Windows
Target version set to 1.6.5
This was broken after 1.6.4 was released and is present in 1.6.x. It was broken
in commit:a1dba380c7bbc6147bdb9f059087385e6ee1ed12 for #11196. Window's arp
doesn't support the `-n` flag. It's actually not clear why the change was made
to remove the dependency on the arp fact, since now the logic for running arp
is in two places.
<pre>
+# Is there an entry in the arp table for fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff,
+# this is a red flag for being on amazon
def has_ec2_arp?
- !!(Facter.value(:arp) == "fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff")
+ arp_table = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('arp -an')
+ is_amazon_arp = false
+ if not arp_table.nil?
+ arp_table.each_line do |line|
+ is_amazon_arp = true if line.include?('fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff')
+ break
+ end
+ end
+ is_amazon_arp
end
</pre>

Bug #11732: Facter (in 1.6.x) is broken on Windows
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11732
Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Ken Barber
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.5
Keywords:
Branch:
Affected Facter version:
It's having trouble with the `arp` command that it uses to resolve
macaddresses. This problem doesn't occur in 1.6.x, just master. I think it's
running arp with a command line option that Windows doesn't support, so Windows
spits out a usage message:
<pre>
C:\> facter
Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by
address resolution protocol (ARP).
ARP -s inet_addr eth_addr [if_addr]
ARP -d inet_addr [if_addr]
ARP -a [inet_addr] [-N if_addr]
-a Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current
protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical
addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If
more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP
table are displayed.
-g Same as -a.
inet_addr Specifies an internet address.
-N if_addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified
by if_addr.
-d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr. inet_addr may be
wildcarded with * to delete all hosts.
-s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr
with the Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is
given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry
is permanent.
eth_addr Specifies a physical address.
if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the
interface whose address translation table should be modified.
If not present, the first applicable interface will be used.
Example:
> arp -s 157.55.85.212 00-aa-00-62-c6-09 .... Adds a static entry.
> arp -a .... Displays the arp table.
