Issue #4561 has been updated by Walter Heck.
Wanted to add this to #3704, but that has been closed as a duplicate of this.
On the geppetto mailing list the following problem popped up, which I think is
particularly painful:
<pre>
It seems all references to "false" and "true" trigger a warning in geppetto.
Since "true" != true and "false" != false this should probably be removed ( but
I think is why it was added also ;)
The primary issue is that all facts that are true/false are "true"/"false" in
recipes. I also have some goofy exec resources where 'command => "true"' which
flags a warning.
Example:
Some test code:
if $::is_virtual == false {
notify{ 'a': }
} else {
notify{ 'b': }
}
if $::is_virtual == "false" {
notify{ 'c': }
} else {
notify{ 'd': }
}
On a system:
# facter -p | grep is_virtual
is_virtual => false
# puppet agent --test | grep -i notify
notice: /Stage[main]/Common/Notify[b]/message: defined 'message' as 'b'
notice: /Stage[main]/Common/Notify[c]/message: defined 'message' as 'c'
</pre>

Feature #4561: Structured data should be supported
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4561#change-57404
Author: Luke Kanies
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Ken Barber
Category: library
Target version:
Keywords:
Branch:
https://github.com/kbarber/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.
