Description

During my code validations, I noticed that you can pass any type of output value in the output flag. This shouldn't be possible since we are only supporting three major outputs "JSON, TEXT, CSV".

At first glance, it looks like it falls back to TEXT. If this is the intended behavior, then we should change it in a way to return the new default output which is JSON.

Steps to reproduce

Take any command and use --output yourFakeValue

Expected results

Fallback to JSON and not TEXT or return an exception stating that only JSON, TEXT, and CSV are valid output values.

Actual results

It returns the output in TEXT format
