Facter / FACT-2998 CLI breaks when querying for custom facts Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 4.0.52 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2021/03/26 6:11 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Gheorghe Popescu When you query for a custom structured fact, Facter uses Hash#dig to cicle through keys, but this can fail if the value of one of the cicled keys is not a Hash. Simple ruby example: ❯ ruby -e '{"a" => "b"}.dig("a", "z")' Traceback (most recent call last): 1: from -e:1:in `<main>' -e:1:in `dig': String does not have #dig method (TypeError) Steps to reproduce in Facter: 1. create a custom fact Facter.add('foo.bar') do setcode { 'baz' } end Query for that fact name and an extra key: ❯ bx facter foo.bar.x   facter-4.0.52/lib/facter/framework/formatters/formatter_helper.rb:28:in `dig': String does not have #dig method (TypeError) Add Comment
