Jira (FACT-1653) External Facts from PowerShell do not parse structured output (JSON/YAML)

Title: Message Title

Branan Riley commented on FACT-1653   Re: External Facts from PowerShell do not parse structured output (JSON/YAML) JSON/YAML output from powershell is parsed the same as if it were a static json or yaml file - it should be a single hash at the top level, with keys indicating the facts to process. Thus, the output for your desired behavior should be {a_test_fact:<DATA>} We do this specifically for the issue you noticed when you do not compress the output - it's not easy to tell if multiple lines are "more data for a structured fact" or "another key/value pair for a new fact". Running facter with `--debug` in both cases should give you more information about how Facter is trying to parse your output.
