Foreman::Rake[db:migrate] fails when using puppet 4 about puppet-foreman

[mmoll]

Foreman is not supported with Puppet 4, yet, and even less with AIO packages. AIO packaging is bringing its own Ruby, making it impossible to load e.g. facter into the system Ruby we use, leading to the error seen.

[ekohl]

Adding to that: we would like to have it supported though. I'd also expect that the puppet module would need fewer arguments and autodetect the AIO install.

[mmoll]

kind of related: #367 - I still think leveraging the whole AIO/non-AIO/OS detection logic of theforeman-puppet should be used by having -foreman depend on -puppet would be the best way. 💥

Okay, thanks for the explanation - I had seen some movement in a few commits around puppet 4, but didn't realise there was still a way to go.

[mmoll]

Yes, changes were made to get this Puppet module itself Puppet 4 compatible as-is, but there are still more changes to make until Foreman with all its subsystems will be compatible with Puppet 4 and AIO packages. BTW, all help would be welcome. :)

[domcleal]

While I entirely agree that there are loads of systems that aren't compatible, the particular issue here looks like one we could address in the Debian packaging by switching to a vendored version of Facter.

The 'foreman' package has a dep on the 'facter' package and expects to load it from the regular shared Ruby paths under /usr etc. We could include bundler.d/facter.rb in the core package build so it's cached as a gem using Bundler instead of using the system package.

(Facter's only used as a dep in Foreman core for FQDN resolution etc.)

Edit: to be clear, other things - particularly the smart proxy - will still have issues, but this'll get us a bit further.

[mmoll]

@domcleal true... I'll take the DEB part. :)
