Description

After including the beaker_puppet_helpers gem the functionality of fact_on was redefined and depending on the version of puppet being used, a different version of fact_on will be called (either from beaker proper or beaker_puppet_helpers). The test in question (from fixture_modules_spec.rb) is describe "fact_on(default,'root_home')" do. It has been marked as skipped until we can come up with a solution for the problem if one is even needed.

Research direction

Start with the skipped describe "fact_on(default,'root_home')" do example in fixture_modules_spec.rb and inspect how fact_on is provided by beaker and beaker_puppet_helpers under Puppet 8. Determine whether a compatibility change is needed, then verify that the test has a defined outcome and no longer fails under the affected Puppet version.
