Reporter: Mihai Buzgau

Steps:
1. update the Puppet dependency to be more permissive. Currently puppet requires facter > 2.0.1, < 4. Update the dependency to cover Facter 4
2. Smoke test Puppet Gem with Facter 4
3. Test what happens if a repo has a Facter locked to ~> 2.5 and dependency to Puppet

Re: Investigate the usage of Facter-NG in Puppet as a gem

Steps to deploy ruby gem server that accepts push using docker:

docker run -d -p 9292:9292 -v /root/geminabox/data:/webapps/geminabox/data -e RUBYGEMS_PROXY=true --name geminabox spoonest/geminabox:latest

PDK

PDK only uses facter for analytics and the dependency is locked to ~>2.5.1 - Pushing facter-ng as facter should not impact this project

Modules.

The modules do not have a lock on facter.
Releasing the facter-ng as facter will cause all the modules to use this in their testing.

Actions to mitigate:
The module Gemspec allows users to set FACTER_GEM_VERSION. If this is set, Facter 4 will be ignored.

Actions to determine the impact:
We should run all the module tests to detemine what tests fail.

Note: To setup a different gem repository one needs to specify the GEM_SOURCE.

Given the following Gemfile:

source 'http://plenary-radical.delivery.puppetlabs.net:9292/'
 
 
 
gem 'puppet'
 
gem 'facter', '~> 2.5.1'

On a `bundle install`, this will install the latest available puppet with the facter version specified in the Gemfile, evan in Facter 4 is available on rubygems:

[root@oral-petitioner a]# bundle install
 
Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and installing your bundle as root will break
 
this application for all non-root users on this machine.

Bundle complete! 2 Gemfile dependencies, 13 gems now installed.
 
Use `bundle info [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

Modules have a dependency to litmus -> litmus has a dependecy to PDK -> PDK has facter locked to ~>2.5.1
