    Description

      The facter gemspec is pinned to ruby 2.1.7 which is causing gem installation errors.

       

      https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/gemspec.in#L19

       

       

      facter-3.11.8 requires ruby version ~> 2.1.7, which is incompatible with the current version, ruby 2.4.5p335
      

       

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Install the puppet-agent  (any version will work)
      2. Install pdk the gem (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install pdk)
      3. Create a new module using the pdk (pdk new module test)
      4. cd test && pdk unit test 

      The failure should occur as it tries to load the facter gem using the specification. 

       

      Workaround

      Remove the patch version from the 2.1.7 in the gemspec for post install issues

       

      Gem::Specification.new do |s|
        s.name = "facter"
        version = "3.11.8"
        mdata = version.match(/(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/)
        s.version = mdata ? mdata[1] : version  s.required_rubygems_version = Gem::Requirement.new(">= 0")
        s.authors = ["Puppet Labs"]
        s.date = "2015-10-22"
        s.description = "You can prove anything with facts!"
        s.email = "info@puppetlabs.com"
        s.files = ["bin/facter"]
        s.homepage = "https://puppetlabs.com"
        s.require_paths = ["lib"]
        s.summary = "Facter, a system inventory tool"
        s.specification_version = 3
        s.required_ruby_version = '~> 2.1'  # <----- change from 2.1.7 to 2.1
      end
      

       

      Otherwise this would need to be fixed permanently here :

      https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/gemspec.in#L19 or possibly elsewhere in the code during the compilation process that produces the gemspec file.

       

      Note: this is somewhat related to https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PA-2670 in that you may have to fix that issue as well.
