[Supriya Uppalapati]

Hi,

1

2

3

4

5

It is throwing me error:

Error: Could not retrieve local facts: undefined method `split' for [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:Array

Here is my facts

require 'facter'

ary = [1,2,3,4,5]

ary.map { |i| "'" + i.to_s + "'"}.join(",")

#str = ""

ary.each do |i|

#id,val = row[i]

 val = ary.split ","

Facter.add("base") do

  setcode do

    i

end

end

end

Anyone, please  help me

Hi Supriya,

If you want an array of items printed as a newline separated list of values, then you probably want to use the 'join' method (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.3/Array.html#method-i-join) to join the array on newlines instead of split.

This question looks like it's asking for general code help, rather than asking specific questions about developing on Facter, Puppet, Hiera, or another one of our open source projects. Please note that puppet-dev is not an appropriate place to ask general coding questions. You'll have better luck trying the Ruby users forum (https://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/ruby), puppet-users mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/puppet-users) or the #puppet IRC channel. If you need more in depth help there are projects like Hack Hands (https://hackhands.com/) that can provide close mentoring. If you need specialized help for Puppet then a Professional Services engagement (http://puppetlabs.com/services/professional-services) might be your best bet.
