Puppet / Bug PUP-10861
puppet facts show --value-only should not display a quoted value
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Affects Versions: PUP 7.3.0
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 2021/01/27 9:35 AM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Josh Cooper

When using --value-only to retrieve the value of a fact, the output is quoted:

[root@void-musicality ~]# puppet facts show os.name --value-only
 
"RedHat"

It should return the unquoted value so that the output can easily be consumed by external automation.

Release Notes: Bug Fix
Release Notes Summary: The command "puppet facts show --value-only <fact>" emitted the value as a JSON string, which included quotes around the value, such as {{"RedHat"}}. It now emits just the value.
