facter module: specific alternate facter location?

[Thomas Willert]

Hi,

is it possible to specify another location for the facter binary when using the "facter" module?

From this error message I gather that the module is relying on "/usr/bin/env" to find the facter binary:

# ansible xxxxxxxx -m facter

xxxxxxxx | FAILED >> {

    "cmd": "/usr/bin/env facter --json",

    "failed": true,

    "msg": "/usr/bin/env: facter: No such file or directory",

    "rc": 127,

    "stderr": "/usr/bin/env: facter: No such file or directory\n",

    "stdout": ""

}

We have our facter binary in "/opt/puppet/bin/facter" (which is also the normal location if using the PE Puppet stack).

Is it possible to either pass an alternate facter binary to the module? 

Or is it possible to pass a parameter to "/usr/bin/env" through the facter module?

Thanks for your help,

Thomas

you can add this to your task:

environment:
PATH: /opt/puppet/bin
