I extend this a bit in some of my facts to check that the gem is available
before using it. That way if the gem can't be loaded (normally because it
isn't installed), it will still return a value that I can use in the
manifests.
Facter.add("ibmim_installed_version") do
setcode do
ibmim_version = 0
if Gem.available?('headless')
require 'headless'
< cut code>
end
ibmim_version
end
end
