[Puppet Users] Requiring custom facts in a recipe?

[Jim Pirzyk]

I'm trying to bootstrap puppet on an existing server I have. I rely quite a bit on custom facts in my setup. Is there a way that I can have the facts be required in a recipe, maybe like this:

file { "/etc/foo.conf":
        ...
        content => template("foo.conf.erb"),
        require => [ Facter[mycustomfact], ... ]
}

The template foo.conf.erb needs the fact mycustomfact to create the file. Currently I'm getting the error: err: Could not retrieve catalog: Failed to parse template foo.conf.erb: Could nto find favlue for 'mycustomfact' at /etc/puppet/ manifests/classes/foo.pp on node oldserver.foo.com
