Bug Fix

An issue has been corrected that could cause custom Ruby facts running on Windows to fail to run if they made use of the Ruby network stack (such as Net::HTTP).

Description
Customer reports: I have implemented a custom fact using net/http to query a service on the local host, however when the code is run from facter on Windows Server 2012R2/2016 the following error is received:
ERROR puppetlabs.facter - error while resolving custom fact "testy": getaddrinfo: Either the application has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failed.
Simplified example code:
require 'net/http' |
Facter.add('testy') do |
setcode do |
uri = URI("http://www.apple.com") |
if ( Net::HTTP.get_response(uri) ) |
'Apple II Forever' |
else |
'Altair' |
end
|
end
|
end
|
The same, minus 'Facter.add('testy') do setcode do' succeeds using puppet ruby outside of facter.
