Hello, all. I am unable to get the utilize the output of a custom fact in a template while, simultaniously, succeeding at doing so with another custom fact. I receive no errors and am utterly at a loss. The failing custom fact that looks like this:
# cat /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/memorysize_mb.rb # As seen in: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/f1c0689dad937853/095d3109f1a8b284 require 'facter' Facter.add("memorysize_mb") do confine :kernel => :Linux ram = 0 # Steal linux's meminfo File.open( "/proc/meminfo" , 'r' ) do |f| f.grep( /^MemTotal:/ ) { |mem| ram = mem.split( / +/ )[1].to_i / 1024 } end setcode do ram end end The following works great: # facter --puppet memorysize_mb 17495 Just like I expect; just like as advertised here: http://www.puppetlabs.com/blog/facter-part-2-testing-and-deployment/ and here http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Adding_Facts and here http://www.krzywanski.net/archives/666 . Everything looks to be going smooth. Indeed, I already have another custom fact that I'm using to great success in templates already. Looks like this: # cat /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/stack_depth.rb require 'facter' Facter.add('stack_depth') do setcode do %x{bash -c 'ulimit -s'}.chomp.to_i end end In my template when I do maintenance_work_mem = <%= memorysize_mb.to_i * 0.15 %>MB max_stack_depth = <%= stack_depth.to_i - 1000 %>kB the rendered configuration is maintenance_work_mem = MB max_stack_depth = 7192kB Oh god, why? -- Brian L.
