Puppet users - May 2011 - Facts are propatating but dont work from within templates and classes

Hi, I have a big problem with custom facts. I created a stub module with a
"lib/facter" directory as stated in the official Puppet documentation.
This is the output i get:

# puppetd -t --pluginsync
info: Retrieving plugin
notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]/mode: mode changed ''755'' to
''775''
notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]/ensure: created

notice: Finished catalog run in 16.23 seconds
root@puppet-1306413279:~# cat /tmp/puppet.test

Certname:
(empty string)

--

As you can see, I get no output. This is the code of my "certname"
fact:

require ''facter''

Facter.add("certname") do
    setcode do
        %x{/usr/bin/puppet --configprint certname}.chomp
    end
end

--

Could you please tell me where is the problem?

Thank you verymuch,
Matteo

what does your file resource and template definition for /tmp/puppet.test look
like.

the following module snippets are working:

class mytest {
	file "/tmp/puppet.test":
		content => template("mytest/puppet.test.erb")
	}
}

cat template/puppet.test.erb
Certname: <%= certname %>

cat /tmp/puppet.test
Certname: localhost.localdomain

My test was made on a single node using puppet agent.
Here is my puppet.conf:

$ cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

    user = pe-puppet
    group = pe-puppet

[master]
    certname = puppetmaster.localdomain
    certdnsnames =
puppet:puppet.localdomain:puppetmaster:puppetmaster.localdomain
    reports = http, store
    reportsurl = http://localhost:3000/reports/
    ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
    ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

[agent]
    certname = puppetagent.localdomain
    server = puppetmaster.localdomain
    report = true
    classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
    localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
    graph = true
    pluginsync = true

[development]

[testing]
    modulepath = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/testing/modules
