Issue #4561 has been updated by Adrien Thebo. Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Merge to Code Insufficient
Ah, I had not considered that. This feature also isn't terribly helpful until puppet can receive richer data types, and there are probably other concerns like the caveat you mentioned. It seems reasonable to pull symbols out though. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4561: Structured data should be supported https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4561 Author: Luke Kanies Status: Code Insufficient Priority: High Assignee: Adrien Thebo Category: library Target version: 2.0.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/adrienthebo/facter/tree/ticket/master/4561-add_structured_data Affected Facter version: Facter currently only supports a flat result list, and it should instead support structured data - basically, a hash of hashes and arrays. This should probably be able to be represented in two ways - either a hash of hashes/arrays, or namespaces. That is, this: <pre> {:top => {:middle => {:bottom => "value"}}} </pre> Could also be represented as: <pre> top::middle::bottom = value </pre> We could optionally have a converter that s/::/_/g for backward compatibility, which should be both trivial and unnecessary, but there should definitely be some kind of backward compatibility mode for callers who can't deal with structured data. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
