Title: Message Title

Nick Walker created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10973 `puppet facts diff` output should be pretty Issue Type: Task Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2021/03/25 9:52 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Nick Walker The Problem The output of `puppet facts diff` is all smashed on one line instead of being human readable. [root@master20198-latest-centos ~]# puppet facts diff {"foo.bar":{"new_value":null,"old_value":"true"},"pe_postgresql_info.data_partition_available_bytes":{"new_value":59176595456,"old_value":59176505344},"platform_tag":{"new_value":"centos-7-x86_64","old_value":"el-7-x86_64"},"puppet_inventory_metadata.packages.last_collection_time":{"new_value":"0.4702s","old_value":"0.588s"}} I have to run it through another tool like python or jq to effectively read the output [root@master20198-latest-centos ~]# puppet facts diff | python -m json.tool { "foo.bar": { "new_value": null, "old_value": "true" }, "pe_postgresql_info.data_partition_available_bytes": { "new_value": 59173752832, "old_value": 59173863424 }, "platform_tag": { "new_value": "centos-7-x86_64", "old_value": "el-7-x86_64" }, "puppet_inventory_metadata.packages.last_collection_time": { "new_value": "0.463s", "old_value": "0.5941s" } } Suggested solution We should print the output in a human readable format.
