Describe the Bug

If you output a value that has multiple newlines and then attempt to use that value in another stack via terraform.output the newlines will be striped.

Expected Behavior

output value should retain newline characters

Steps to Reproduce

In stack #1 (a) output a value that contains newlines such as:

output "foo" {
  value = "bar\nbaz\nbongo\n"
}

Then in stack #2 (b) use that value as an var to a component:

components:
  terraform:
    hello:
      vars:
        foo: !terraform.output a .foo

Wow, that should definitely not happen! Thanks for reporting. We’ll fix this and add a test case.
