Puppet users - Feb 2011 - Custom fact works in Facter but not in Puppet

Hi,

I defined a simple custom fact which just returns "Hello, world".
Following the instructions in

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Adding_Facts
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html

I added the source file as modules/admin/lib/facter/hello.rb

and enabled ''pluginsync'' in puppet.conf.

If I run ''facter hello'' it correctly returns "Hello,
world."

But if I refer to it in a Puppet manifest with:

notify { "$hello": }

I just get nothing. Running Puppet shows the fact is being loaded, and
it has been synced to the fact directory on the client, but the value
is just an empty string.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Regards,
John
