    Description

      FACT-2666 added a Facter.load_external method which puppet checks to enable/disable external fact loading. The method was added to facter 3, but doesn't exist in facter 4, so puppet doesn't disable external fact loading.

      # rpm -qa | grep puppet
      puppet-agent-7.0.0-1.el8.x86_64
      # cat /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/slow.sh
      #!/bin/sh
       
      >&2 echo "this is slow"
      # chmod u+x /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/slow.sh
      # puppet lookup --node notme key
      Warning: Facter: Command /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/slow.sh completed with the following stderr message: this is slow
      Warning: Facter: Command /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/slow.sh completed with the following stderr message: this is slow
      

      This wasn't noticed in tests, because we don't verify partial doubles:
