---------------------------------------- Bug #21530: cfpropertylist .to_plist method doesn't output Apple standard XML format https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21530#change-94606 * Author: Clay Caviness * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: ---------------------------------------- The output when using FORMAT_XML isn't in Apple style, with tab indention, but is instead all on one line. While this is valid XML, it's not pretty. We generally like to write XML plists and not binary, as they're simpler to read without extra tools. <pre> $ ruby -r facter -r facter/util/plist -e "p = {'foo'=>'bar', 'baz'=>[1,2,3]}.to_plist(); puts p" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>baz</key> <array> <integer>1</integer> <integer>2</integer> <integer>3</integer> </array> <key>foo</key> <string>bar</string> </dict> </plist> $ facter --version 1.6.2 $ sudo pkgutil --forget com.reductivelabs.facter Forgot package 'com.reductivelabs.facter' on '/'. $ sudo installer -target / -pkg /Volumes/facter-1.7.1/facter-1.7.1.pkg installer: Package name is facter-1.7.1 installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install was successful. $ ruby -r facter -r facter/util/cfpropertylist -e "p = {'foo'=>'bar', 'baz'=>[1,2,3]}.to_plist({:plist_format=>2}); puts p" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"><dict><key>baz</key><array><integer>1</integer><integer>2</integer><integer>3</integer></array><key>foo</key><string>bar</string></dict></plist> $ facter --version 1.7.1 </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
