In regard to: [Puppet Users] can?t call custom fact, Spter said (at 6:46am...:
Both on puppetmaster and my node:
puppet.conf:
pluginsync = true
on my puppetmaster:
modules/system/manifest/init.pp:
file { "/root/my_oc4j":
ensure => link,
target => "/var/${::oc4j}",
}
modules/system/lib/facter/oc4j.rb:
Facter.add("oc4j") do
"ja"
end
When i called on my node:
puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime --ignorecache --verbose --noop
no error occurs, but the link looks like:
my_oc4j -> /var/
So, when i modify the init.pp like:
file { "/root/my_oc4j":
ensure => link,
target => "/var/$oc4j",
}
The link looks like the same.
What does
facter --puppet oc4j
report? You may need to run that as root or via sudo to get your
custom facts.
If it doesn't output anything, then the problem is that facter isn't
getting the information you expect, so what it reports to the puppet
master is empty.
Next step would be to run
sudo puppet config print all | egrep fact
on the client in question. That should show a setting for factpath,
probably something like /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter.
Look in that directory. Does your oc4j.rb file exist in the directory?
If it does, then pluginsync is working correctly, but the code itself
isn't doing what you expect.
If it doesn't exist, then it's not getting synced down to the client(s)
correctly, so you'll need to debug why that is.
