[Spriya]

Hi,

when i am trying to do puppet custom facts to split [1,2,3,4,5] to 

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, help me

split is a string function

your ary is an array as you defined it

This will give you ruby functions for the Array class

Hi,

require 'facter'

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

ary.each do |numbers|

Facter.add("base") do

  setcode do

  "#{numbers} "

end

end

end

In the fact it is returning only 1 value. In the fact it is returning base = 1 only not returning 2 3 4

Help me

Facter is basically a hash. You would want to name each specific 'fact' with a unique name as it would have one value - hash is a key => value pair.

Are there any instructions how to do this kind of?. I dont know how to do it.

Hi,

I wrote it like this. But it is not loading base2 facts

require 'facter'

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

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

#str = ""

ary.each do |numbers|

#id,val = row[i]

 #val = ary.split ","

Facter.add("base") do

  setcode do

  "numbers = #{numbers} "

end

end

end

Facter.add("basevalue1") do

  setcode do

  "numbers =  #{numbers} "

end

end

It is not loading basevalue1 fact.

First off, this description is way too vague to even start guessing
where you are going with this. It would be helpful if you can describe
what you are trying to solve in the long run.

Anyway, here is what I think you may want. Perhaps.

ary.each do |num|
Facter.add("base#{num}") do
setcode { num.to_s }
end
end

You get five facts, with the value equal to the respective index.

HTH,
Felix
