I need to write a custom fact that depends on the value of another
custom fact in a different file. For example:
# foo.rb
Facter.add("foo") do
setcode do
[...]
end
end
# bar.rb
Facter.add("bar") do
setcode do
if (Facter.value("foo") == "option1") then
[...]
else
[...]
end
end
end
Do I need to do anything to ensure that the foo fact is added before
the bar fact''s block is evaluated? Or does puppet load all facts
before evaluating any of them?

It used to be in some cases you may have to force a loadfacts as mentioned in http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Adding_Facts Testing using irb shows the issue using a facts dir containing: https://gist.github.com/714987 FACTERLIB=$(pwd)/facts irbirb(main):001:0> require ''facter'' => true irb(main):002:0> Facter.value(''bar'') => "default" Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
