Custom facts are updated in the next execution of "puppet agent --test"

[Amrit Atmajit]

Hi,

I am using following code snippet in one of the init.pp file of puppet master to load the updated facts in "facts.yaml" available in "C:\marionette-collective\etc\" folder.

file { "c:/marionette-collective/etc/facts.yaml":     loglevel => debug,     content  => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime_seconds|timestamp|free)/}.to_yaml %>"),     require   => [ Exec['set_executionpolicy'], Exec['gencustomfacts'] ],   }

But, the custom facts are getting updated in facts.yaml file on execution of next "puppet agent --test", not immediately.

Am I missing something to update the facts.yaml for the custom facts on the immediate execution of "puppet agent --test" not on the next execution?

Regards

Amrit

Amrit, since you are deploying it as a file resource, it has to be deployed to the agent before it will be used. You could instead add the fact to your module, where plugin sync will push it to the agent before it collects facts, which means it is there on the first facts run. See https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.1/custom_facts.html#fact-locations
