Jira (PUP-4785) External facts not working with cfacter

[JIRA]

Title: Message Title

Erik Dalén created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4785 External facts not working with cfacter Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.2.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/06/25 2:38 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Erik Dalén It seems like puppet fails to load external facts. However it seems to actually load them but discard them or something. They work as they should when running facter though. This shell session should demonstrate the issue: root@test:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# cat /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/hardware_id.txt hardware_id=aws-i-0455ed44 root@test:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# ./facter | grep hardware_id hardware_id => aws-i-0455ed44 root@test:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# ./puppet facts | grep hardware_id root@test:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# strace -o puppet.out ./puppet facts | grep hardware_id root@test:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin# grep -n5 hardware_id puppet.out 26314-lstat("/opt/puppetlabs/facter", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 26315-lstat("/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 26316-stat("/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 26317-openat(AT_FDCWD, "/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 7 26318-getdents(7, /* 5 entries */, 32768) = 152 26319:stat("/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/hardware_id.txt", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=27, ...}) = 0 26320:open("/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/hardware_id.txt", O_RDONLY) = 8 26321:read(8, "hardware_id=aws-i-0455ed44\n", 8191) = 27 26322-read(8, "", 8191) = 0 26323-close(8) = 0 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.
