Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Announce: Facter 2.0.1

[Jeff McCune]

For those that are getting the undefined method errors, could you please run with --debug and --trace and paste the results so we could see a bit more information about where those methods are called from?

Thanks,

Hi to both Stefan and DJE - these problems usually come up when there are multiple versions of facter installed, i.e. one via gem and one via RPM/deb. Can you verify this is the case? Run with --trace and do something like 'find / -name facter -type d' (hopefully with some smarter options if you have nfs mounts :) ) to see if there is another library directory that is getting picked up. Thanks!

Hello Jeff,

I am a coworker of Stefan.

root@devel69 facts.d]# facter --debug --trace

[root@devel69 facts.d]# cat /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/kis_horcm.rb
if Facter.kernel == "Linux"
    Facter.add("kis_horcm") do
        setcode do
            File.exist?("/etc/horcm.conf")
       end
    end
end

We got this on #RHEL6 and #RHEL7

[root@devel69 facts.d]# rpm -qa | grep facter
facter-2.0.1-1.el7.x86_64

I checked if facter module 'kernel' is present

[root@devel69 facter]# cat /usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/kernel.rb
# Fact: kernel
#
# Purpose: Returns the operating system's name.
#
# Resolution:
#   Uses Ruby's rbconfig to find host_os, if that is a Windows derivative, the
#   returns 'windows', otherwise returns "uname -s" verbatim.
#
# Caveats:
#

Facter.add(:kernel) do
  setcode do
    require 'facter/util/config'

    if Facter::Util::Config.is_windows?
      'windows'
    else
      Facter::Core::Execution.exec("uname -s")
    end
  end
end

so this looks good.

I also checkd 'uname'

[root@devel69 facter]# uname -s
Linux

[Madd Sauer]

Hello again,

I found out that something has changed in way how facter elements has to use.

old style

if Facter.kernel == "Linux"

new style

if Facter.kernel => :Linux

I think iI have to check some of our scripts ...

sorry for making noise here ...

Hi Madd,

One other idea: try changing Facter.kernel to Facter.value(:kernel). The former syntax was deprecated, and the latter works with older facter versions as well.
