Puppet users - Sep 2012 - Where to place Custom Facts in Puppet module structure

Hi,

Using Puppet 2.7.11.

Following http://puppetlabs.com/blog/facter-part-1-facter-101/ doesn''t 
state *where* custom facts should go.. however comment by
''nan'' sept 2010
states:

Custom facts should be placed under lib/facter sub directory inside modules 
to take advantage of the autoloader (0.25.x and higher):

[MODULE_PATH]/[module_name]/lib/facter

Sounds great!! We can''t get it to work :( 

We have an ugly work around where we use puppet to write the custom_fact.rb 
to a custom folder then munge the FACTORLIB env variable so they are picked 
up.

Any ideas what might be going wrong :) We ideally would like custom factor 
facts to be simply dropped into a module and available as such.

Thanks, Jim.

See pluginsync documentation for more information about enabling this
functionality:

Do you have pluginsync enabled on the agents?
