Description
Facter & Facter-ng version:
[root@pepm facts.d]# /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/facter --version |
3.14.18 (commit 92e6f64d36589c8a537d4a4d5c574c872c3aa329) |
[root@pepm facts.d]# /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/facter-ng --version |
4.2.1 |
Â
The output of the Puppet command shows the inconsistent value and the result for the boolean value `false` showing as empty string.
Below are the steps to reproduce and the output:
 1) Created an external fact:
[root@pepm facts.d]# cat /etc/facter/facts.d/build_information.yaml |
---
|
key1: true |
key2: false |
 2) Output of the Puppet command shows the empty result boolean value `false`
[root@pepm facts.d]# puppet facts show --facterng key1 key2 |
