Issue #15990 has been updated by Gary Larizza.
Here's what's failing on 10.5.8 for me:
<pre>
>> require 'facter'
=> true
>> require 'facter/util/macosx'
=> true
>> stuff =
>> Facter::Util::Macosx.intern_xml(Facter::Util::Macosx.profiler_xml('SPHardwareDataType'))
RuntimeError: A plist file could not be properly read by
Facter::Util::CFPropertyList: #<NameError: uninitialized constant
LibXML::XML::Parser::Options>
from /Users/glarizza/src/facter/lib/facter/util/macosx.rb:33:in
`intern_xml'
from (irb):7
</pre>
It's coming from self.intern_xml in facter/util/macosx.rb in these lines:
<pre>
plist = Facter::Util::CFPropertyList::List.new # This succeeds
plist.load_str(xml) # This throws an error about an uninitialized constant of
LibXML::XML::Parser::Options
</pre>
Here's what I get when I try to run the code in IRB directly:
<pre>
>> plist = Facter::Util::CFPropertyList::List.new
=> #<Facter::Util::CFPropertyList::List:0x346d68 @data=nil, @format=0,
@filename=nil>
>> plist.load_str(Facter::Util::Macosx.profiler_xml('SPHardwareDataType'))
NameError: uninitialized constant LibXML::XML::Parser::Options
from
/Users/glarizza/src/facter/lib/facter/util/cfpropertylist/lib/rbLibXMLParser.rb:16:in
`load'
from
/Users/glarizza/src/facter/lib/facter/util/cfpropertylist/lib/rbCFPropertyList.rb:297:in
`load_str'
from (irb):12
</pre>
What's weird is that if I do a listing of the gems on the system, libxml is
shown as being installed:
<pre>
bash-3.2# sudo gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
actionmailer (1.3.6, 1.3.3)

rubynode (0.1.3)
sources (0.0.1)

<pre>
I also can't remove any of my gems, which is my own issue here:
<pre>
bash-3.2# sudo gem uninstall libxml-ruby
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
cannot uninstall, check `gem list -d libxml-ruby`
</pre>
I'm going to try and replicate this on a fresh 10.5.8 VM, but thought I'd post
my findings to help the cause.

Bug #15990: Puppet fails due to facter error on 10.5.8 clients
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15990#change-70436
Author: Chris Barker
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Chris Barker
Category:
Target version:
Keywords: cfpropertylist xml plist parse
Branch:
Affected Facter version: 2.0.0rc3
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.
