Custom facts variables coming out empty on manifest

[Paulo Pinto]

Hi all.

I have a very simple Custom Fact in /etc/puppet/modules/facts/lib/facter/php_version.rb :

Facter.add(:php_version) do

  setcode do

    Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('php-config --version|awk -F "." \'{print $1$2}\'') 

  end

end

It gets deployed and if I run "facter -p |grep php " on the "slave" server I get:

php_version => 54

Now, if I try to use the variable on my manifest like this:

file { "/usr/local/lib/php.ini":

                owner => root,

                group => root,

                mode => 0644,

                source  =>  "puppet:///files/php${::php_version}.ini",

                require => Exec['install_cpanel']

        }

I always get on the "slave" log :

(/Stage[main]/Cpanel::Cpanel/File[/usr/local/lib/php.ini]) Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) puppet:///files/php.ini

As it is obvious, it's not replacing the variable ${::php_version} as it should return php54.ini and not php.ini .

What am I doing wrong here ?

Best regards,

Hi,

Perhaps there is an environment diference between the command line and the puppet agent process. The first one I think is the path one.

I would try to launch the php-config --version and the awk with the full-path.

If that doesn't work, I would check if the php-config-version needs any environment variable.

Regards,

Hello Jose.

That was spot on ! Changed the script using the full path to both binaries did the trick:

Facter.add(:php_version) do

  setcode do

    Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/usr/local/bin/php-config --version|/bin/awk -F "." \'{print $1$2}\'')

  end

end

Thanks ! That made my day :-)
