[chef] Re: knife node show json format squished

[John Alberts < >]

me too!  I've noticed this recently too.  I'm not really sure when it started happening, so I can't really offer any details that would be helpful.  I'd love to hear if you find a solution.

Recently the node output I see went from a nice "fully-expanded" view of the
json to the json being not expanded, being "squished"... for lack of better
phrasing.

Does anyone happen to know what happened, or how to get the output back to
fully-expanded?

I'm not exactly sure what changed in my dev environment, and when it did.
FWIW I did try downgrading my chef 10.26.0 to 10.24.0 within my rvm, but that
changed nothing.
