It appears that yaml anchors have stopped working in facter 4. In facter 3, this external yaml fact is processed correctly:

{code:java}

// "/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test.yaml" 13L, 118C                                                  9,7           All --- one:   ipam:     a:       &a1       - foo     cname:       &a2       - bar two:   IPAM:     A: *a1

CNAME: *a2 {code}

When running puppet facts --debug:

{code:java}

// ESC[0;36mDebug: Facter: resolving facts from YAML file "/opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test.yaml".ESC[0m ESC[0;36mDebug: Facter: fact "one" has resolved to {   ipam => {     a => [       "foo"     ],     cname => [       "bar"     ]   } }.ESC[0m

ESC[0;36mDebug: Facter: fact "two" has resolved to {   IPAM => {     A => [       "foo"     ],     CNAME => [       "bar"     ]   } }.ESC[0m{ code}

In facter 4, this fails:

{code:java} // c:Error: Facter: Failed to handle /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/test.yaml as LegacyFacter::Util::Parser::YamlParser facts: Unknown alias: a1{code}

The expectation is that yaml anchors should function the same as they did in prior versions. Support has recommended their use on multiple prior occasions.
