Facter 4.0.52 does not provide trusted['hostname'] in Docker environments

Change By:	Manuel Laug

We du run Puppet RSpec tests in a Gitlab Pipeline and use a specific Ruby Docker Image for that (basically *ruby:2-alpine* with some additional packages).

I've noticed that tests depending on *$::trusted['hostname']* start failing with *Facter 4.0.52* as the variable is *Undef*. Running the exact same test using *Facter 4.0.51* works fine (as it did with all previous versions we used).

Interestingly this only happens when running the tests using the Docker Image (in Gitlab and also locally). If I execute the tests on a MacOS or Linux system directly , they successfully run.

I've also tried using a different Puppet and Ruby version, but had the exact same behaviour.

Re: Facter 4.0.52 does not provide trusted['hostname'] in Docker environments

Gheorghe Popescu, this might be the cause. Currently I've pinned our Facter version used to one that works. I will revisit this after 4.0.53 is released.
