Breaking Change get --all and export return difference

[ThomasNieto]

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Summary

dsc resource get -r <type> --all no longer has the same output compared to pre-preview7. This PR #861 most is most likely the cause.

Steps to reproduce

• Run dsc resource get -r <type> --all on both preview7 and prior and verify all --output-type return correct values and yaml is returned by default to the console.

Expected behavior

Output matches versions prior to preview7

# json output
{
    "actualState": {
        "result": [
            <object>
        ]
    }
}

Actual behavior

Outputs json by default and if forcing to yaml does not match either.

@ThomasNieto thanks for reporting this, will look into it. Intent was NOT to change existing behavior.
