Custom facts in facter

[Hugo Deprez]

Hello,

I created a custom fact with the following procedure :

mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/facts/lib/facter

touch apache.rb

Content of apache.rb file :
Facter.add('apache') do
  setcode do
     apache_package = Facter::Core::Execution.exec('which apache2')
        
    # if 'which apache2' exits with an error, jruby_path will be an empty string
    if apache_package == ""
      false
    else
      true
    end
  end
end

this is working when I use the $apache in templates, but when I do :

#facter apache

I got an empty answer.

How can I add the value to facter ?

Best regards,

Hugo

To load puppet-provided facts, you need to add the '-p' option. 'facter -p apache' should work.
