Description

I'm in the process of migrating to Puppet4, so after installing puppet-agent, I deleted my old answers file, ran "foreman-installer -i", edited some values and ran the installer. It failed because some edited values had a "!ruby/string:HighLine::String " prefix, see:
/etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/foreman-answers.yaml:

db_host: !ruby/string:HighLine::String marduk.kvedulv.de
db_password: !ruby/string:HighLine::String xxx

Which version of HighLine do you have installed? I can't reproduce it under 1.7.8.

1.6.21 from Debian/jessie. I think at least on one string I did use the backspace key, maybe that's a problem?

Thanks, I can reproduce it now on that version and have a simple fix for it. I am seeing an issue with the YAML file where these strings are being base64-encoded, but not decoded - are your strings encoded too?

e.g.

2.0.0-p247 :021 > YAML.load([HighLine::String.new("test")].to_yaml)
 => ["dGVzdA=="]

$ cat config/answers.yaml
---
test2:
  foo: !ruby/string:HighLine::String |-

I don't think so... the two lines in my example were pasted straight from the answers file.

I switched from Ruby 2.0.0-p247 to 2.1.5 and the Base64 issue went away, so must be some interaction between Ruby/HighLine versions, so some separate issue (which updating Ruby or HighLine fixes).
