Title: Message Title

Eric Thompson created an issue   Facter / FACT-1050 can't find facts specified on CLI when defined in ini file containing spaces around = Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/06/17 3:14 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Eric Thompson i've seen this in both native and ruby facter. if you define an external non-executable fact containing a space in an ini txt file, and there are spaces around the '=' the fact key appears to have a trailing space in it. In facter2, IIRC you can get the fact using 'foo ', but this doesn't appear to work in native facter. In either case you can find the fact in the entire output with grep. ./external/foo.txt foo = bar bar=foo [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ foo   [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ 'foo '   [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ | grep foo bar => foo foo => bar [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ bar foo [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ 'bar' foo [root@lks2ze2y006q9pk ~]# facter --external-dir external/ 'bar ' foo Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346-sha1:dbc023d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
