It may be more correct to say that per-environment facts don't work
*reliably* before 0.25. The client would get its facts not from the
environment it request its manifest from, but from the environment
it used the *previous* time it connected to the Puppet-master. And
for a new client, or after a restart of the master, they would get
their facts from the default environment.
So, this would happen:
[Start puppetmasterd]
# puppetd --environment=devel
Gets facts from production, because that's what the default
environment is
# puppetd --environment=devel
Now gets facts from devel, because that's what it asked for
in the previous run
# puppetd --environment=production
Still gets facts from devel
# puppetd --environment=devel
Facts from production
[Restart puppetmasterd]
# puppetd --environment=devel
Facts from production, because that's what the default
environment is
The problem before 0.25 was that the client only told the master about
the wanted environment when it requested *manifests*, not when it
downloaded files (using the puppet: URL scheme), so the master guessed
what environment it used based on what it wanted the last time it asked
for its manifests. And a typical run of puppetd would do this:
1. Download custom facts (and resource types) using the puppet:
protocol (and thus without saying what environment it wanted)
2. Request compiled manifests for ENVIRONMENT.
3. Download files specified by the 'file' type using the puppet:
protocol.
which obviously fails.
And note that while per-environment custom facts is supposed to work in
0.25 (I haven't tried it myself, though), you still cannot have custom
resource types or custom functions per environment.
