custom fact issue

[Jemmorey]

Would anyone please assist me on this one?  This fact seems to work, but it doesn't return when called directly via facter --puppet noop, but the resulting facts end up in the reports.

I'm at wits end with this. Thanks!

<snip>
utc_hour = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(%q</bin/date -u +"%H">).chomp


Facter.add(:noop) do
        setcode do
                environment = Facter.value(:environment)
                if environment.match("test|dev|qa")
                        result = false
                else
                        if utc_hour.match("01|02|03|04|05|06|07|08|09|10")
                                result = false
                        else
                                result = true
                        end
                end
                result
        end
end
</snip>

Hi!  Does the following do what you might expect?

fact_name = 'noop'
Facter.add(fact_name) do
  setcode do
    utc_hour = %x{/bin/date -u +"%H"}.chomp.to_i
    environment = Facter.value(:environment)
    #puts "env = #{environment}"

    if environment.match("test|dev|qa")
      result = "false"
    else

      if utc_hour.between?(1,10)

        result = "false"
      else
        result = "true"
      end
    end

    #puts "result #{result}"
    result
  end
end

So far so good.  In test environment it actually reports when I run it. 

Thank you very much Guy.  I'll let you know how it goes in the environments which actually use noop.

Appreciate the help :)

Hi,

There is also no need to call "date" from within the shell saving on unnecessary fork, as Ruby can provide UTC time for you.
