Facter / FACT-1542 Install Facter 3 as a gem Change By: Branan Riley

This epic supports moving the prototype of a facter gem into a reproducible, shippable product. The prototype is available at https://github.com/branan/facter.gem. It is a hand-rolled source gem, with instructions on how to create the binary gem. This epic covers the creation of automation to build the source and binary gems, as well as integration of that automation with RE tooling and our normal CI pipelines.

Re: Install Facter 3 as a gem

Sean McDonald this gem ins't installing a binary in the path, like 2.x did. Is that on the roadmap?

Re: Install Facter 3 as a gem

FACT-1838 will be tracking the tickets for the next set of improvements to the gem. We haven't filed them all yet, but releasing the binary is likely to be part of Phase 2. We're trying to get something out as early as possible so we can get feedback on bugs related to module testing, and will be addressing other use cases for the gem as we go.

Re: Install Facter 3 as a gem

Is there a reason this gem wouldn’t become next release of “facter”? I’m sure there will be many Gem dependencies that are currently pulling down legacy one and would then just flip to downloading this instead having to replace facter with cfacter?

Re: Install Facter 3 as a gem

Chris DenneenThat's the plan. We're doing a phased rollout - CFacter first to make sure it's not completely broken, then as a pre-release of Facter (probably coming pretty soon now, since Bundler and Rubygems are stubborn about messing with dependencies), and eventually as a real Facter release when we're confident it won't break the world. This is super early work right now. We're making it available for folks to play with, but we've spent most of our time on this just getting it to build, and have done almost no testing. We want to be cautious

Re: Install Facter 3 as a gem

In order to facilitate better user experience, we decided to provide the facter 3 gem under the facter namespace as a 'pre-release' gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/facter/versions/3.11.0.cfacter.20180319   As discussed, we need to keep this as a pre-release to avoid breaking folks using facter 2.   more discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-dev/kLZJuhKvjc4
