Description
Facter uses the default `to_s` method when printing facts via plaintext. On Ruby 1.8.7 this
produces badly mangled output which makes it difficult to read structured facts on the terminal
without using YAML or JSON.

Tested on OSX Mavericks 10.9 using sample structured fact
Facter.add(:interfaces_array) do
setcode do
interfaces = Facter.value(:interfaces)
# the 'interfaces' fact returns a single comma-delimited string, e.g.,
"lo0,eth0,eth1"
interfaces_array = interfaces.split(',')
interfaces_array
end
end
Facter.add(:interfaces_hash) do
setcode do
interfaces_array = Facter.value(:interfaces_array)
interfaces_hash = {}
interfaces_array.each do |interface|
ipaddress = Facter.value("ipaddress_#{interface}")
if ipaddress
interfaces_hash[interface] = ipaddress
end
end
interfaces_hash
end
end
Prior to merge:
interfaces_array => lo0gif0stf0en0en3en4bridge0p2p0vmnet1vmnet2vmnet8
interfaces_hash =>
lo0127.0.0.1vmnet1192.168.121.1vmnet2192.168.42.1vmnet8172.16.253.1en0192.
After merge commit:
interfaces_array => ["lo0", "gif0", "stf0", "en0", "en3", "en4", "bridge0"
"vmnet1", "vmnet2", "vmnet8"]
interfaces_hash => {"vmnet1"=>"192.168.121.1", "vmnet2"=>"192.168.42.1",
"vmnet8"=>"172.16.253.1", "lo0"=>"127.0.0.1", "en0"=>"192.168.0.102"}
Looks good to me!
