---------------------------------------- Bug #15585: External facts does not parse text facts with an '=' correctly. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15585#change-70602 Author: Hailee Kenney Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.0.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/307 Affected Facter version: Since the general format for txt facts is like this: <pre> fact_name=fact_value </pre> There is some ambiguity around what will happen if you want an '=' in your fact value. It seems that this is not dealt with in the most desirable away. If you have an external fact defined as: <pre> test_fact=a=a </pre> Then when you run Facter, it will return: <pre> $ facter test_fact=a => a </pre> This is probably not the behavior that we're looking for, as there is more likely to be a case where you may want an '=' in your fact value then in your fact name. This should just be a quick fix in the txt parser. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
