Issue #23243 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Status changed from Unreviewed to Duplicate
---------------------------------------- Bug #23243: Dies when empty, executable file placed in facts.d https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23243#change-100108 * Author: Tony Kolstee * Status: Duplicate * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.7.2 ---------------------------------------- When an empty file is placed in /etc/facter/facts.d and its mode is executable, facter dies with the following error: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/util/loader.rb:95: command not found: /etc/facter/facts.d/${filename}.rb Error: undefined method `each_line' for nil:NilClass In my particular case, a puppet manifest is used to create a Ruby file in this directory. Often the manifest runs without issue but in some (10-20%) instances puppet places a "${filename}.puppettmp_${number}" file in that directory with executable mode, and dies before it removes the temp file. This completely breaks facter and puppet, requiring that this file be manually deleted. This appears to be a race condition within Puppet, and I wasn't sure whether to report this as a Facter or a Puppet bug.
