Jira (PUP-9639) Windows package resource does not remove trailing whitespace

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-9639   Re: Windows package resource does not remove trailing whitespace This is easily reproducible by editing an installed package's DisplayName to contain trailing null characters in the registry (use the Modify Binary Data... option. Run puppet resource package --to_yaml packages.yaml and it will preserve the null bytes in the output: $ od -c ~/Downloads/kdiff.yaml 0000000 K D i f f 3 ( r e m o v e 0000020 o n l y ) \0 \0 \0 : \r \r \n 0000040 e n s u r e : ' i n s t 0000060 a l l e d ' \r \r \n p r o 0000100 v i d e r : ' w i n d o w s ' 0000120 \r The windows package provider should left and right strip package names. Unfortunately there are now safeguards around what application installers put in the registry, so we have to be defensive about the data we read from there.
