Re: Environment variable override for structured facts
I find the FACTER_foo method very useful for debugging purposes. I think it would be great to be able to override structured facts too.
IMHO it would suffice to be able to override the whole contents of the fact, not just a subset, e.g.
# FACTER_os=''{"name"=>"Debian", "family"=>"Debian", "release"=>{"major"=>"9", "minor"=>"3", "full"=>"9.3"}, "lsb"=>{"distcodename"=>"stretch", "distid"=>"Debian", "distdescription"=>"Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch)", "distrelease"=>"9.3", "majdistrelease"=>"9", "minordistrelease"=>"3"}}' puppet agent --test

Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on FACT-1743 Re: Environment variable override for structured facts As a workaround, you can lay down a .json or .yaml file in Facter's external facts directory, containing the entire structure you wish to override. EX: --- os: family: ... ... We don't currently provide a way to override just a subset of any structured fact, although it's definitely a feature that's been requested before. Also: Have you filed a ticket for the misdetected OS version? I'd like us to be able to resolve that for you as well, if possible.

Jira (FACT-1743) Environment variable override for structured facts
Title: Message Title David Wood created an issue Facter / FACT-1743 Environment variable override for structured facts Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: CLI Created: 2017/09/04 2:27 AM Environment: Bash for Windows, Windows 10, Puppet 5.1.0, Facter 3.8.0 (commit 89d6aed5d7847bacb3cc8547b00fefbf9771b202) Priority: Minor Reporter: David Wood I've found that within Docker containers, Facter incorrectly reports the operating system (Debian in an Ubuntu container) from the `os.name` and legacy `operatingsystem` facts. In order to combat this, I've been using environment variables such as `FACTER_operatingsystem='Ubuntu' facter operatingsystem` so that Puppet can correctly determine the OS in the manifests. However, as far as I'm aware, there is no way to override the structured facts using an environment variable, such as `FACTER_os_name` or `FACTER_osname` - this is an issue as throughout my Puppet manifests I've switched to using the modern, structured facts rather than the legacy ones and as such I cannot override the fact value that is being incorrectly reported. Are there any solutions to this I am unaware of or is it a bug?
