puppet facts.d executable PROBLEM

[Jones]

Hi folks,

I'm using this plugin https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts/tree/master/facts-dot-d

and I can't get a fact out of a simple shell script. YAML TXT JSON works well

My little shell script testfact.sh looks like

#!/bin/bash

echo "TEST=NOT WORKING"

made it executable

chmod +x testfact.sh

made a puppet agent -t to read the new fact

BUT 

$facter --puppet 

is not getting the fact

Thanx a lot!

It's finally working.... some guy thought it's a good idea to comment the part out in the factsd script ^^

The facter dot d plugin is probably in a little bit of flux right now. I know it was included in the puppet stdlib module for a while, but it apparently was recently removed from there(commit 8fc00ea5b6b39b220ebc6391489915dbeeb364ab). R.I.P's version is what the stdlib version was based on, and is a little on the old side now, I believe, which could be why part of it was commented. I'm not sure if there are plans to include that plugin in a more core role in the future, perhaps one of the puppet team could comment on that.

the released version of puppetlabs-stdlib on the puppet forge still has
the facts.d plugin included and its newer than mine - based on mine but
improved.

facter 2 will have it merged with it and the stdlib will then remove
facts.d properly
