Re: Facter 3 & 4 report an error when JSON external facts are empty Puppet 6/Facter 3 will be EOL at the end of February, so we won't have plans on fixing that version. The issue also occurs in Puppet 7/Facter 4:   # facter --version 4.2.14   # cat /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/packages.json   # facter os.name [2023-01-09 20:12:41.840516 ] ERROR Facter - Failed to handle /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/packages.json as LegacyFacter::Util::Parser::JsonParser facts: 783: unexpected token at '' backtrace: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.7.0/json/common.rb:156:in `parse' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.7.0/json/common.rb:156:in `parse' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/parser.rb:146:in `parse_results' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/parser.rb:60:in `results' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:117:in `block in resolve_fact' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/benchmarking/timer.rb:18:in `measure' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:117:in `resolve_fact' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:91:in `block in load_searched_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:87:in `each' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:87:in `load_searched_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/directory_loader.rb:50:in `load' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/collection.rb:180:in `load_external_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/collection.rb:95:in `external_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/core/fact_loaders/external_fact_loader.rb:35:in `load_external_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/core/fact_loaders/external_fact_loader.rb:10:in `external_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/core/fact_loaders/fact_loader.rb:64:in `load_external_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/core/fact_loaders/fact_loader.rb:24:in `load' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/core/fact_manager.rb:20:in `resolve_facts' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter.rb:521:in `resolve_facts_for_user_query' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter.rb:454:in `to_user_output' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/cli/cli.rb:124:in `query' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/thor-1.2.1/lib/thor/command.rb:27:in `run' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/thor-1.2.1/lib/thor/invocation.rb:127:in `invoke_command' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/thor-1.2.1/lib/thor.rb:392:in `dispatch' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/thor-1.2.1/lib/thor/base.rb:485:in `start' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/cli/cli_launcher.rb:23:in `start' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/facter:10:in `<main>'  RedHat
