Issue #20236 has been reported by Jeff McCune. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20236: Facter does not consult dmidecode if lspci is present https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20236
* Author: Jeff McCune * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: virtual * Target version: 1.7.x * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.6.18 ---------------------------------------- ### Overview When Facter executes lspci and is unable to determine the virtual platform from the output, dmidecode is never consulted. This is a problem because there are situations where the information sufficient to determine the virtual platform is contained in the output of dmidecode, but not the output of lspci. ### Expected Behavior `dmidecode` is consulted when trying to determine the virtual platform, regardless of if lspci is present or not. ### Actual Behavior When `lspci` is present, `dmidecode` is never executed. Steps to reproduce: Stub out `lspci` such that it returns unrelated information and stub out `dmidecode` such that it returns relevant and useful information. Observe that `dmidecode` is never consulted. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
