Puppet users - Sep 2012 - require class inside fact

Hello, 

I''ve created a class where I define some variables like $mydns,
$myproxy, etc to use everywhere (in other manifests)

The question is: Can I call these class variables inside a fact definition?

Something like:

#somemanifest.pp
class x {
$foo = "great"
}

#somefact.rb

Facter.add("foo") do
setcode do
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(''echo ${x::foo}'')
end
end



Thanks in advance

Your usage here is backwards. You need to re-read how puppet works. The node
collects its facts and submits them to the puppet master. The puppet master uses
the facts to compile a catalog for the node, which will be run by the node.

So you can set $foot in the fact, and echo it in the class, but not vice versa
as you have done below.

I see. I thought Puppet could feed it''s facts definitions too by
requiring some class on it.

Many thanks for your fast and clear answer :)
