Title: Message Title

Glenn Sarti created an issue   Facter / FACT-1653 External Facts from PowerShell do not parse structured output (JSON/YAML) Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 3.6.5 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/06/27 3:49 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Glenn Sarti The powershell resolver in facter for external facts seems to treat all text as key=value pairs only. However Powershell can trivially output JSON (or YAML) too for structured facts Can facter please be updated to parse JSON/YAML text. Example PS code to emit JSON Write-Output (@{ 'key1' = 'value1'; 'key2' = 'value2' } | ConvertTo-JSON -Depth 1 -Compress) Note - Requires Windows Server 2012R2 (PowerShell 3) for ConvertTo-JSON for testing Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029-sha1:ae256fe) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
