Check the TargetSpec type definition in the documentation. IIRC facts stored under a target structure (if you’re using the facts plan or apply_prep to gather them)

Yeah, it’s documented under Target type <https://www.puppet.com/docs/bolt/latest/bolt_types_reference.html#target|https://www.puppet.com/docs/bolt/latest/bolt_types_reference.html#target>

In an apply() block you can use $facts as usual

I want to use the variable in een (string url to a package) in a package resource.

$releaseversion = Target.facts['os']['release']['major']

But that throws an error: 'facts' parameter 'target' expects a Target value, got Type[Target]

It should be not a type but variable of the type ($target.facts[…])

How about
```$target.facts.get('os.release.major')```


Hmz i think my question is wrong? I need to ask how do I set te $target variable?  I want to change the url thats used for a package based on the facts.['os]['release']['major'] fact

`apply($centos_targets, { 'run_as' =&gt; 'root' }) {`
    `package { 'repo':`
      `ensure          =&gt; 'present',`
      `install_options =&gt; [{ '--disablerepo' =&gt; '*pgdg*' }],`
      `source          =&gt; "<https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-${target.facts['os']['release']['major']}-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm>",`
    `}`
  `}`   

1) use apply_prep() before apply() to gather facts
2) use $facts in an apply() block
