Puppet Custom Facts not populating on startup

[Chad Upton]

Environment is:

EC2 Amazon Linux AMI

puppet version 3.7.5 with puppetmaster

facter version 2.2.0

Test Case:

Create a test file:

-- modules

  -- my_test_fact

    -- lib

      -- facter

        -- my_test_fact.rb

vim my_test_fact.rb

  Facter.add("my_fact") { setcode { "my_fact" } }

Run puppet:  puppet agent -t

Shows the updated fact being loaded.

facter -p shows

my_fact => "my_fact"

Edit /etc/rc.local

facter -p > /tmp/facter_run.log

puppet agent -t > /tmp/puppet_run.log

Reboot the server

cat /tmp/facter_run.log

my_fact doesn't exist also running puppet the fact isn't loaded (i've test this by trying to use it)

Not sure what I'm missing here as I'm pretty sure this used to work or maybe I'm running it from /etc/rc.local incorrectly?

The issue was an old version installed under /usr/bin with the newer version installed in /usr/local/bin.
