Puppet users - Mar 2013 - custom fact works in testing but fails during puppet run

Hi

I have the following custom fact:

require ''facter''
Facter.add("chat_remote_port", :timeout => 5) do
  setcode do
    Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(''/usr/bin/ssh -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no
-i /vagrant/fabfile/deployment/keys/id_rsa user@example.com \''for port
in
12321 12322 12323 12324 12325 12326; do netsta\
t -an | grep $port > /dev/null ; if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then echo $port; fi; 
done\'''')
  end
end

It works fine when invoked via the ''facter'' command but seems
to cause a
hang when run during ''puppet apply''. Adding
''timeout'' does not cause Facter
to move on.

Why would this fail during ''puppet apply'' but work ok with
''facter''?

Thanks
Mark

Are you running facter and puppet as the same user?

I believe so. In testing I run as user root. During ''puppet
apply'' (via
''vagrant provision'') I believe facter is run as root. I
checked this by
changing my  command to /bin/whoami. That returned ''root''.

I''ve searched for ways of debugging facts by, say, seeing any output
they
produce but have not found anything yet.

Thanks
Mark

Solution found here:

https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/603#issuecomment-13791117

All I needed was to add ''-n'' to the ssh invocation and it
works perfectly.
