Puppet users - Apr 2010 - Problem syncing custom fact

I am trying to get a custom fact to sync. The fact is in a module. It
will sync if I run puppet with "--pluginsync" but not otherwise. I
have "pluginsync=true" in my puppet.conf. Shouldn''t the
command line
option and puppet.conf option have the same results?

Yes in theory. Depending on the section you put it in of course. I
have pluginsync=true in the [main] section of my puppet.conf, on both
my client and server and sync works fine.

Can you post your full configuration? Both client and server? Can you
confirm your other settings are working when you adjust them in
puppet.conf?

Thanks, testing other settings was an excellent suggestion. It seems
no settings in my puppet.conf are working. Any suggestions on how to
debug this? This was all working before I upgrading from 0.24.5 to
0.25.4 For reference, here are my configs, although it seems that the
client config is not even being read.

Here is my client puppet.conf:[main]

logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/etc/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=/var/lib/facter
pluginsync=true
server=puppetmaster.numerex.com
environments=production,testing
environment=production

[puppetd]
report = true

And here is the puppetmaster:

main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
pluginsync=true
server = puppetmaster.numerex.com
environments = development,testing,production
node_terminus = exec
external_nodes = /etc/puppet/query_deploymanager.rb

[puppetmasterd]
certname=puppetmaster.numerex.com

[puppetd]
report = true

[testing]
modulepath = /etc/puppet-dev/manifests/classes
templatedir=/etc/puppet-dev/templates
manifest = /etc/puppet-dev/manifests/site.pp
pluginsync = true

[production]
modulepath = /etc/puppet/manifests/classes
templatedir=/etc/puppet/templates
manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
pluginsync = true

I found the problem. My puppet.conf somehow got checked into SVN with
CR/LF line endings. Apparently this causes puppet to fail to read it,
quite silently even with --debug unfortunately.

Looks like you are right. Line 892 from puppet/util/settings.rb:

        text.split(/\n/).each { |line|

Its splitting on line feed. I''d raise a ticket if I was you - seems
like a trivial change to that regular expression.

Also - I think the puppet configuration doesn''t throw errors when its
wrong. It does when you get it wrong on the command line however, so
the logic is there somewhere. This is already an open ticket here:
