Issue #3741 has been updated by Mikael Fridh.
Up until now I had the habit of moving all my facter plugins into their own
directory for categorization or to simply keep things neat, like this:
modules/mymodule/lib/facter/mymodule/myfact.rb
modules/mymodule/lib/facter/hardware/bios.rb
instead of:
modules/mymodule/lib/facter/myfact.rb
modules/mymodule/lib/facter/bios.rb
The loading behaviour is different between modulepath loading and the lib path
loading so moving the facter plugins like I do, actually cause loading to not
work when you run puppet apply instead of puppet agent with pluginsync. It
seems modulepath fact plugin loading is non-recursive while lib path loading is
recursive.
Looks to me to warrant a bug about inconsistent behaviour and recursive loading
should be done in both cases or what do you think?
recursive loading not working:
[root@staging-db-lv-3 tmp]# puppet apply --verbose
--modulepath=/tmp/modules -e 'include stdlib'
info: Applying configuration version '1326970721'
notice: root_home is
notice: /Stage[main]/Stdlib/Notify[something]/message: defined 'message' as
'root_home is '
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds
moving from subdir facter/stdlib/ to facter/ makes it load:
[root@staging-db-lv-3 tmp]# mv
modules/stdlib/lib/facter/stdlib/root_home.rb modules/stdlib/lib/facter/
[root@staging-db-lv-3 tmp]# puppet apply --verbose
--modulepath=/tmp/modules -e 'include stdlib'
info: Loading facts in root_home
info: Applying configuration version '1326970748'
notice: root_home is /root
notice: /Stage[main]/Stdlib/Notify[something]/message: defined 'message' as
'root_home is /root'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds

As noted by some on puppet-users -
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/f41cad70f62b9bf7
Puppet clients indicate that they are loading each custom fact more than once.
