Puppet users - Dec 2009 - Missing something with custom facts

Hi,

I can''t seem to get custom facts up and running .. its works if I run
it manually but when running puppetd its does not work.

puppet version 0.25.1-3

custom fact put in /etc/puppet/modules/hardware/lib/facter/raidcontroller.rb:
Facter.add("storagecontroller") do
        confine :kernel => :linux
        ENV["PATH"]="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
        controller = []
	setcode do
        	lspciexists = system "/bin/bash -c ''which lspci
>&/dev//null''"
        	if $?.exitstatus == 0
        		output = %x{lspci}
                	output.each {|s|
                		controller.push($1) if s =~ /RAID bus controller: (.*)/
                	}
                	output.each {|s|
                		controller.push($1) if s =~ /SCSI storage controller: (.*)/
                	}
        	end
		if controller.length==0
			controller.push("Unknown")
		end
	controller
	end

end

#:~/rubylib# facter |grep storagecontroller
storagecontroller => Adaptec AAC-RAID (Rocket) (rev 02)

but when runnig it through puppetd it does not work but it loads:

#:~/rubylib# puppetd --test
info: Retrieving plugin
info: Loading facts in raidcontroller
........

fileserver.conf:

Could someone please point me in the right direction to debug this ? its kinda
weird that it does not work from within puppet but works great when running it
by hand

It looks like you should be putting your facts in $vardir/lib/facter or
/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter.  I personally put them in $vardir/facts, but
that''s your preference.  Try putting your fact there and seeing if it
works.
