Title: Message Title Nate McCurdy commented on FACT-2918 Re: FACTER_ environmental facts overrides don't work with external facts +1 to getting this fixed. Glad to see it's being triaged now. It's a common workflow where I am to allow unprivileged users to run Puppet and set FACTER_ environment variables to toggle feature flags that we've built in to our code. As the users are unprivileged, they aren't able to write files to disk to modify an external fact. but they do have the rights to set an ENV variable for a one-off Puppet run. This bug breaks that workflow. Also of note, there's a test for this exact behavior in Facter so it's definitely meant to be working: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/4.0.49/acceptance/tests/external_facts/env_var_overrides_external_fact.rb#L35-L42 How is that test passing? ...I guess it works when using Facter directory, but not when run through puppet facts.

Title: Message Title Nick Walker commented on FACT-2918 Re: FACTER_ environmental facts overrides don't work with external facts Kenneth Pepiton thanks for the response. It wasn't clear from the description that this used to work and it is a regression. During triage we thought it never worked in Puppet. I was able to reproduce that it worked in PE 2018.1.10 and does not work in PE 2019.8.4. [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# puppet --version 6.20.0 [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# cat /opt/puppetlabs/server/pe_build 2019.8.5-rc2-160-g4af732b [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# FACTER_test_fact=blah puppet facts show | grep test "test_fact": "blah", [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# mkdir /etc/puppetlabs/facter [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# mkdir /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# vim /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test_fact.txt [root@master-masterbranch-centos ~]# FACTER_test_fact=blah puppet facts show | grep test "test_fact": "foo",

Title: Message Title Kenneth Pepiton commented on FACT-2918 Re: FACTER_ environmental facts overrides don't work with external facts There are two major problems with this response: 1) This was previously working and is no longer working 2) The exact use case is in the example. The need to override the fact values while testing the agent allows for an alternative for testing. I am very sadly disappointed in this type of response Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.5.2#805002-sha1:a66f935) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.

Title: Message Title Nick Walker commented on FACT-2918 Re: FACTER_ environmental facts overrides don't work with external facts While this is inconsistent behavior... it's unclear what use case makes this a problem over just setting an external fact in a file. The recommendation is just to set the external fact in a file to get it to show in the puppet run. We don't intend to fix this as when running from the puppet daemon setting facts from environment variables is likely not an expected use case.
