Error loading fact /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/jenkins.rb no such file to load -- json

[jchristi]

This is similar to #132, but not exactly. lib/facter/jenkins.rb has the following line:

require 'json'

This gem is not installed by default on my IT org's RHEL 6.5 VMs (Puppet 2.7.23, Facter 1.6.18, Ruby 1.8.7). To resolve, I had to either manually yum install -y rubygem-json or add:

  package { 'rubygem-json': }

to my manifest. Is the use of the json gem necessary? If so, can we add the above puppet line for RHEL into init.pp or package.pp?

@jchristi we could, I'm kind of surprised that the json gem isn't already a dependency of 2.7.23 o_O.

For installations like Puppet Enterprise installs, I'm not sure how this should be handled because there's a different Ruby other than the system Ruby that's used.
