I am delivering the fact with pluginsync, but that will not have
occurred yet on bootstrap because puppet has yet to run for the first
time and deliver the fact. At least that is what I think is happening.
If I do a run that does not include the class referencing the fact
first, it will work fine on subsequent runs.
Here is the fact, in case it is relevant:
Facter.add("gw_init_script_exists") do
setcode do
FileTest.exist?("/etc/init.d/ublipgw.sh")
end
end
