2012-10-25Revert "Revert "Revert "Merge branch ↵Jeff McCune
'hkenney-ticket/master/2157_remove_facts_dot_d'""" This reverts commit 8fc00ea5b6b39b220ebc6391489915dbeeb364ab. I really wish we could get this right. Without this patch there is no branch that contains backwards-comaptible new functionality relative to the current 3.0.1. There are only branches that contain backwards-incompatible functionality relative to 3.0.1. This is a problem because I need to do a release of stdlib that contains backwards compatible facts but does not contain any breaking changes. This patch fixes the problem by establishing the 3.1.x branch. This branch will then revert the backwards incompatible changes from the 3.1.x branch and revert the revets in the 4.x and master branches. I'll review our merge process, but it seems wrong that there is no place to separate out incompatible from compatible changes when working beyond the most recent patch release.
2012-10-25Revert "Revert "Merge branch 'haus-add_pe_facts_to_stdlib' into 2.4.x""Jeff McCune
This reverts commit d6d23b495cda0e154b4e73982acc43e586564c0e. Why? Because this change set should actually be in master and our merge-up process reverted the change set in master when I reverted from 2.4.x. This patch reverts the revert, restoring the original change set.

2012-10-25Revert "Merge branch 'haus-add_pe_facts_to_stdlib' into 2.4.x"Jeff McCune
This reverts commit 74e6411157b8df1af9a24c17971e3236f3096529, reversing changes made to 417d219aa6e42f2a16af42c98aa063fc1d9d2ecd. Here's why: Actually... I just screwed this up. I merged this new fact into 2.4.x but it's not fixing any bug. It's adding a new fact, so this should go into master and we should release 2.5 since this is new, backwards-compatible functionality.

2012-10-25Prevent undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass with pe_foo_version factsJeff McCune
Without this patch the pe_major_version, pe_minor_version, and pe_patch_version facts directly depend on the pe_version fact in a manner that calls split directly on the return value. This is a problem because Fact values are not always guaranteed to return strings, or objects that respond to split. This patch is a defensive measure to ensure we're always calling the split method on a string object. If the Fact returns nil, this will be converted to an empty string responding to split.
2012-10-24Add PE facts to stdlibMatthaus Owens
As many PE modules have PE specific functionality, but are deployed to all nodes, including FOSS nodes, it is valuable to be able to selectively enable those PE specific functions. These facts allow modules to use the is_pe fact to determine whether the module should be used or not. The facts include is_pe, pe_version, pe_major_version, pe_minor_version, and pe_patch_version. For PE 2.6.0 those facts would have values true, 2.6.0, 2, 6, and 0, respectively.

2012-08-16Revert "Merge branch 'hkenney-ticket/master/2157_remove_facts_dot_d'"Jeff McCune
This reverts commit cc414a422de0d773a1012ca57f41f15b4d6caf06, reversing changes made to 29f8f89c19b2189aa78ab430e94671669cb4716c. Conflicts: README.markdown Without this patch, there is no facts_dot_d functionality and we don't have it implemented in Facter 2.0. This is a problem because Puppet Enterprise and many users rely on facts.d support. We're also backwards compatible with Facter 1.6 in stdlib 3.0 so this is a bug fix.
2012-07-10(#2157) Make facts_dot_d compatible with external factsHailee Kenney
Since facts_dot_d will eventually be removed and replaced by external facts, warn users who are using a ttl on their external facts that this feature will not be in Facter external facts. Provide a link to a page explaining how to cache fact values without the ttl functionality.
2012-07-10(#2157) Remove facter_dot_d for compatibility with external factsHailee Kenney
Since external facts does the same thing as facts_dot_d (except allow ttl for external facts and allow some Windows executable external facts), and external facts is the prefered solution, remove facts_dot_d in the next major relase of stdlib.
2012-03-13(#13091) Fix LoadError exception with puppet applyJeff McCune
Puppet apply does not add the stdlib lib directory to the $LOAD_PATH. This is a problem because the puppet_vardir fact requires the puppet_settings library to be available for the `with_puppet` utility method. Without this patch, puppet apply will result in the following error: $ puppet apply --modulepath=/vagrant/modules -e 'notice $puppet_vardir' warning: Could not load fact file stdlib/lib/facter/puppet_vardir.rb: no such file to load -- facter/util/puppet_settings notice: Scope(Class[main]): notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds With this patch applied, puppet apply works as expected: $ puppet apply --modulepath=/vagrant/modules.pe -e 'notice $puppet_vardir' notice: Scope(Class[main]): /Users/jeff/.puppet/var notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds This patch defensively tries to load facter/util/puppet_settings. If it cannot load it, it falls back to trying to explicitly locate and load the library. Once puppet is fixed such that a modules lib directory is truly in the $LOAD_PATH, the fall back implementation will no longer be exercised since the LoadError should not be raised.

jeffmccune/ticket/2.3.x/12357_add_puppet_settings_facts (#12357) Make facter_dot_d look in Puppet[:confdir]/facts.d
2012-03-06(#12357) Make facter_dot_d look in Puppet[:confdir]/facts.dJeff McCune
On Windows, we have no folders that match up to the default set of directories the facter_dot_d fact looks in by default. This is a problem because the Puppet Enterprise installer writes out the following facts by default, and our modules require them to be present: % cat /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer.txt fact_stomp_port=61613 fact_stomp_server=puppetmaster fact_is_puppetagent=true fact_is_puppetmaster=true fact_is_puppetconsole=true On windows, the Puppet confdir is quite variable. On 2003 systems we default to the All Users application data directory. On 2008 systems we default to the ProgramData directory. The actual configuration directory varies depending on the Puppet or Puppet Enterprise branding. In order to simplify all of this variable behavior, this patch fixes the problem by automatically looking for facts in `%COMMON_APPDATA%/PuppetLabs/facter/facts.d` This patch paves the way for the MSI installer to use an IniFile element to write custom facts during installation.
2012-03-05(#12357) Add puppet_vardir custom factJeff McCune
Without this patch the PE modules don't have a way to identify a filesystem path where it's OK to place variable data related to managing the target node. This is a problem when a module like pe_compliance needs to write a wrapper script to the node's filesystem. This patch addresses the problem by exposing the node's Puppet[:vardir] setting as a Facter fact. This fact value will be set to `nil` if Puppet is not loaded into memory. If Puppet is loaded, e.g. using `facter --puppet` or using `puppet agent` or `puppet apply` then the fact will automatically set the value to Puppet[:vardir] The value of this setting is subject to Puppet's run_mode. This patch implements a new utility method in the standard library module named `Facter::Util::PuppetSettings.with_puppet`. The method accepts a block and will only invoke the block if the Puppet library is loaded into the Ruby process. If Puppet is not loaded, the method always returns nil. This makes it easy to define Facter facts that only give values if Puppet is loaded in memory.
2012-03-05(#12357) Fix root_home fact on WindowsJeff McCune
Without this patch the root_home fact fails on windows. This patch fixes the problem by only calling methods on the object returned by the `getent passwd root` command if the object evaluates to true. Because there is no root account on Windows the code block simply returns `nil` which makes the Facter fact undefined on Windows platforms. The root cause of the failure is that we always expected the command to succeed and return something useful, and it may not on all supported platforms.

2012-02-06(#12377) Avoid infinite loop when retrying require jsonJeff McCune
Without this patch an infinite loop will be entered if the json and rubygems libraries are not available. This patch fixes the problem by retrying the `require 'json'` only if rubygems was successfully loaded for the first time. Subsequent attempts to load rubygems will cause the LoadError exception from a missing json library to be re-raised. Thanks to Krzysztof Wilczynski for pointing out this issue.
2012-02-03Update the documentation comment Richard Clamp
This is causing a little confusion, so make the comment match the behaviour.
2011-10-03(#9859) Add root_home fact and testsJeff McCune
Without this patch applied, the stdlib module does not provide a root_home fact. This fact is necessary to easily determine the root account home directory on platforms Puppet is supported on. The major variations this fact address are: --- solaris: / linux: /root macosx: /var/root Spec tests using rspec have been provided as well to cover these three general cases. Windows tests are marked as pending.
2011-08-18(#9080) Make facts.d match Facter 2.0Jeff McCune
Based on feedback from Luke, the facts.d directory should at least match the directory that will be used by Facter 2.0. Reading #2157 I believe the Facter 2.0 facts.d feature is reasonably API compatible with this custom fact from R.I. so I'm comfortable using the same filesystem path. Change in behavior: Now look for facts in: * /etc/facter/facts.d * /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d
2011-08-17(#9080) Add facts from /etc/puppetlabs/facts.dJeff McCune
This fact is a direct copy of R.I.'s work at https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts This is necessary plumbing to allow the installer to write a simple text file based on the role the node is receiving. For example: $ cat /etc/puppetlabs/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_mcollective.txt fact_stomp_port=61613 fact_stomp_server=puppetmaster fact_is_puppetagent=true fact_is_puppetmaster=true The mcollectivepe module relies on these facts being set and we need a persistent place to write them during the interview process and later read them when puppet agent runs to configure MCollective on the agent systems. Since stdlib is a public module, both /etc/facts.d and /etc/puppetlabs/facts.d are scanned for static facts.
