Puppet users - Jul 2008 - how to fetch the nodes value though ruby

Hi All,

What is the right class/def to fetch the nodes data (ldap/external nodes
etc)
I know Puppet::Node.find.. but it returns the facts rather than the
parameters and class definitions.

Thanks,
Ohad

Node.find should return a Puppet::Node instance, which should have the  
parameters (including facts, if your terminus does Node#fact_merge)  
and classes.

If it doesn''t, um, you should probably buy a lottery ticket.  Or fix  
your terminus.

yes you are right :)

I missed the following lines:
Puppet[:config] = "/etc/puppet/puppet.conf"
Puppet.parse_config

Just one thing to note if anyone else is reading it, if you execute it this
way, you will get the facts of the puppetmaster and not the host you are
trying to find, but in my cases I wanted the output of the external node
though puppet.

Thanks for your help.
