maybe it's an issue because

fact()

is calling in the acceptance test and works different compared to actual puppet code 🤔

Spinning up a local instance, facter resolves the fact correctly but tests still fail

How is

fact()

different?

How is

fact()

different?

ah I think it's evaluated before the tests start. so also before lsb-release is installed

could anyone give me a bit of guidance advice, I'm trying to work out how to work around a problem with Raspbian with the vox prometheus module, the service_provider value taken as a fact from stdlib is 'empty' (although the puppet run itself gives a different error) which is stopping the puppet run from completing

I don't want to hack it in the module, as the module is fine and working, it seems to be a problem with Raspbian the easy solution is to somehow forge the local fact to be 'systemd'

but I'm not sure the best way to approach it

(or a better way to approach it)

using facter 4.2.10 from a puppet 7 deployment,

stdlib 8.1

could I trick it with something like /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/os.yaml ?

you can set the correct value as a class parameter

I did think of that at the start, but if the prometheus class explicitly calls out the fact, so it seemed to me that no matter what I set it to, it will always query the fact

so even if I did initstyle = systemd the fact that class has initstyle = fact (service_provider) it always seems like it's querying the fact

which is why I was thinking I had to trick the fact/set the fact

(probably wrongly)

Prometheus:Initstyle 'systemd'

Prometheus:init style 'systemd'

I did try that in my heira mactched against Raspbian-11

os,major

if you explicitly set the class parameter, that should overwrite the fact cal

can you share the code and error you have, maybe in a gist?

and did you raise a buf report for facter bevause it reports the wrong value?

looks like there is already a few bug reports, but because there is no official arm build it seems puppet just close them

hence why I didn't want to invest too much as it's not a problem with the prometheus class,

and of course I can share

they won't notice that there is a demand for arm builds if people do not report it

agree, I hadn't reported it as other similar bugs had just been closed

but I'd be happy to report it again
