Hi Wolf,
yes, the custom fact itself is working just fine, so that's not a prob at
all. It's something like this:
inFile = "/home/admin/OSs.txt"
> gos = {}
>
> if File.exist?(inFile)
> open(inFile, 'r').each do |line|
> next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/
> parts = line.split(',').map(&:strip)
>
> case parts[1]
> when /^Mac/
> (gos[:mac] ||= []) << parts[0]
> when /_Win$/
> (gos[:win] ||= []) << parts[0]
> else
> (gos[:linux] ||= []) << parts[0]
> end
> end
> end
>

> setcode { gos.keys.join(',') }
> else
> setcode { 'undefined' }

As you can see, the problem is the very first line.
BTW, w.r.t. "provisioning system", it's a bit of mess at the moment and I
don't wanna touch it before the demo, that we have in two weeks time. It's
a ENC based system, which we replaced by a master-less Puppet (for AWS)
implementation and then back to old ENC system again as we started having
problem with our cloud provisioning. So, right now, it does ship the file
on to the PM and whatever the extra stuff I'm putting in doing from
modules; one of the modules needs that file available on every host for
that custom-fact to work. Thanks anyway. Cheers!!
