Puppet 3.4.2 with latest version of Hiera and Facter on OS X Mavericks

[Hesan Yousif]

Hi guys,

I know this is covered in here: 

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1856

https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18205

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1384

But I am still having trouble getting puppet to run the simplest command;

sudo puppet resource group puppet ensure=present

It looks like it's because of the wrong symlink as reported in the links above OR something wrong with the fact that puppet is trying to run with ruby v2.1.0 as the error returned by running the above is:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': cannot load such file -- facter (LoadError)

from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'

from /usr/bin/puppet:3:in `<main>'

Current version of ruby is 2.0.0p247 and RVM is using system ruby.

Can anyone shed light on what I need to do? Build from source? Download earlier versions of puppet?

Help please!

Thanks in advance,

Hesan

Sorry meant to say running with Ruby v2.0

Hi Hesan,

The code for Mavericks support in facter will be in Facter 1.7.5,
which has not yet been officially released. However, this version is
in release candidate (1.7.5-rc1). See the release announcement here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-users/wUwBVVJLayA. If
you want to give the Release Candidate a try, download the mac package
here: http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/mac/facter-1.7.5-rc1.dmg.
