I've got a couple of custom facts that are used to find template paths etc.

I always thought facts and plugins got pulled down before the modules
were applied
(this is 2.6.x), but it looks like they aren't (having re-provisioned
some nodes the initial
run is failing immediately).

I end up with invalid paths in the templates, so the run fails, so the
facts never
come down, rinse, repeat.

Is there a way around this?

    Hi Dick,

    Do you have "pluginsync = true" in your Agent's config in it's initial
    run? Are the facts in a module's path correctly
    (<module>/lib/facter/<fact>.rb) ?

    They are, but have just realised they only get pushed out in the initial
    puppet run...hum, bit of a catch 22 here.

    Wondering if it's inheritance related, normally we do something like

    class thing_using_custom_facts {
    include standardbuild_which_setsup_puppetconf
    include module_needing_custom_facts
    }

    but these boxes are built with

    class thing_using_custom_facts inherits standardbuild_which_setsup_puppetconf {
    include module_needing_custom_facts
    }

    Maybe that's the issue, anyone know? If not, will test tomorrow and report back.

    New plugins do get transferred to an agent with pluginsync = true
    before the actual Puppet run. If your plugins change on the master,
    the next agent run would retrieve the modified/new content. This would
    occur before the agent run that retrieves your catalog with the
    classes that need your custom content.
    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html

    If you didn't catch the log and want to see if the plugins were
    transferred, try looking inside your agents libdir: `puppet agent
    --configprint libdir`
