This options allows the user to control whether to lint indentation
inside multi-line scalars or not.
When enabled, such YAML source will be detected as a problem:
- C code: void main() {
printf("foo");
}
whereas this one would not:
- C code: void main() {
printf("foo");
}
YAML content like the following one produced an error, because the
multi-line ScalarToken ends at the beginning of the 4th line (the one
with the value):
? >
multi-line
key
: value
YAML content like the following one produced an error, because the
ScalarToken associated whose value is "this is plain text" ends at the
beginning of the 5th line (the one with the comment):
---
string: >
this is plain text
# comment
Using either 'yes', 'no' or 'whatever', the user will be able to choose
whether to force block sequence items to be indented, to force them not
to be indented, or don't care, respectively.
Previously only comments that were indented like the following content
line were allowed, e.g.:
prev: line:
# commented line
current: line
With this change, such new cases are also allowed:
prev: line
# commented line 1
# commented line 2
current: line
`yaml.load()` exceptions are not necessarily syntax errors. For
instance, the following YAML source cannot be `load()`ed into a Python
object, but is valid nonetheless:
? - Detroit Tigers
- Chicago cubs
:
- 2001-07-23
? [ New York Yankees,
Atlanta Braves ]
: [ 2001-07-02, 2001-08-12,
2001-08-14 ]
This commit detects syntax errors from `yaml.parse()` exceptions rather
than `yaml.load_all()`.
