No example of facter_file about kitchen-puppet HOT 3 CLOSED

you can see an example facter file in a repo here:
https://github.com/neillturner/puppet_vagrant_repo/tree/master/facter

See also (try goggling puppet custom facts)
https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.8/custom_facts.html
http://puppetlunch.com/puppet/custom-facts.html

you can specify facts in the .kitchen.yml
as an array

custom_facts:
  list_of_ips:
    - 10.0.0.1
    - 192.168.10.10

or a hash:

custom_facts:
  role_name1: base
  role_name2:  iis

or string

custom_facts: role_name1=base,role_name2=webserver

from kitchen-puppet.

The notes on facter_file say
facter_file: yaml file of custom facter_files to be provided to the puppet-apply command

but your example facter file is ruby. Can it be either?

fair enough. i've corrected the docs. i think they can be yaml as well. certainly external facts can be yaml as per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45825601/puppet-facter-how-to-set-custom-facts-from-yaml-file.

I would have to read up on the exact difference between external facts and custom facts. Haven't written any puppet this year to be frank, Been working alot with HashiCorp products Terraform and Packer and AWS of course.
