Custom fact query

[daveford...@gmail.com]

Total ruby noob and first time trying to right a custom fact. It does look too complication and I've sort of got this working.. But one question - from the puppet documentation gives two ways of using a 'confine'.

This lets me custom fact produce output via facter on my gentoo box as expected
confine :kernel => "Linux"

But this produces no output -
confine :kernel do |value|

value == "Linux"

end
What am I failing to understand- the documentation would suggest both should work?

Am trying this on a Mint box running facter 4.4.0 and ruby 3.0.2

Thanks in advance.

To clarify, tried this on various systems - facter 4.4.0 and ruby 3.0.2 on Ubuntu Mint and facter 4.7.0 and ruby 3.1.4 on gentoo.  Examples taken from the puppet documentation on writing custom facts.

Hi Dave!

This bug was actually just fixed in https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/2705

For now, you'll need to compare to the downcased version of the string and I'll file a ticket to get that noted in docs.

Good luck!
