Jira (PUP-9505) Fact yaml should quote mac addresses.

[Josh Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on PUP-9505   Re: Fact yaml should quote mac addresses. Native facter defines macaddress to be a string in its schema, and knows to emit it as a quoted string: [root@ka8y738etxt42jh ~]# facter --version 3.13.1 (commit 4e1df48f76caa0eaeee90af4239a1df450d45cd7) [root@ka8y738etxt42jh ~]# facter -y macaddress macaddress: "00:50:56:9a:8f:a7" But puppet facts --render-as yaml doesn't know about the type information, and emits it in the plain style: [root@ka8y738etxt42jh ~]# puppet --version 6.4.0 [root@ka8y738etxt42jh ~]# puppet facts --render-as yaml | grep macaddress macaddress: 00:50:56:9a:8f:a7 macaddress_ens160: 00:50:56:9a:8f:a7 Since fact types are not sent along with the facts to the puppetserver, I don't know if there's anything that we can do differently? /cc Branan Riley, Henrik Lindberg Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
