    • The "puppet resource --to_yaml" and "puppet device --to_yaml" did not generate valid YAML when the output contained special characters such as a single quote.

    Description

      I'm specifically experiencing this with

      puppet resource ec2_instance --to_yaml

      using the puppetlabs-aws module from the forge. The module itself doesn't seem to be touching any yaml related stuff. Without the yaml flag I get this data: https://gist.github.com/wkalt/a97a42b84b1afc3cd23236ea32eed3fa and using the yaml flag I get https://gist.github.com/wkalt/a97a42b84b1afc3cd23236ea32eed3fa . Note that the former has ruby maps embedded, which is the bug.
