you should put the code of the fact inside the setcode block, so: require 'facter' Facter.add(:spacewalk) do confine :osfamily => "RedHat" setcode do f = File.new("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date") text = f.read if text =~ /sv2653/ then "true" else "false" end end end
or even simplify it to: require 'facter' Facter.add(:spacewalk) do confine :osfamily => "RedHat" setcode { !!(File.read("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date") =~ /sv2653/) } end On 19 December 2013 14:26, Andreas Dvorak <andreas.dvo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all > > thank you for helping me. > My solution is this: > require 'facter' > Facter.add(:spacewalk) do > confine :osfamily => "RedHat" > f = File.new("/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date") > text = f.read > if text =~ /sv2653/ then > setcode do "true" end > else > setcode do "false" end > end > end > > Best regards > Andreas > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/9f5a8416-960f-470d-84b8-1903c0315f00%40googlegroups.com > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- Erik Dalén -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
