Bug #15990: Puppet fails due to facter error on 10.5.8 clients
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15990
Author: Chris Barker
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Affected Facter version:
Running on ruby 1.8.6, it appears that CFPropertyList is not returning a proper
plist, or is just full of null values.
Trace:
Error: Could not run: Could not retrieve facts for 10-5-8-pl-vm.local:
undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass
/Users/puppet/src/facter/lib/facter/macosx.rb:30
The line is:
Facter::Util::Macosx.hardware_overview.each do |fact, value|
Putting test code in place, it appears that around line 30/31 in
facter/utils/macosx.rb the call to CFPropertList::List.new is returning nil
values, so it might be a rexml issue in rbCFTypes
util/macosx.rb:
plist = Facter::Util::CFPropertyList::List.new
begin
plist.load_str(xml)
rescue => e
fail("A plist file could not be properly read by
Facter::Util::CFPropertyList: #{e.inspect}")
end
The plist.load_str(xml) never appears to return.
I am working with Gary on this, so I will update as we dig into this more.
