Description
Hi everyone at Puppetlabs,
if have run into an issue with facter recently on macOS which took me quite a while to debug. I think I have found the issue. Thanks for all your hard work! Paul
Problem:
Facter crashes if networking host name ist set to integer value on macOS:
[BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000000
See facter_2020-01-30-122105_400153.crash
for more information.
Expected outcome:
Facter would successfully run and display networking facts of queries system.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set macOS host name to integer value
sudo scutil --set HostName 12345 - Run facter networking, the error occurs
facter networking - Set macOS host name to include at least one non-integer value
sudo scutil --set HostName 1234A - Re-run facter networking, the problem disappears
