  Wed Jan 04 08:38:53 2012 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Cannot parse simple scalar yaml containing TABs
The attached yaml document cannot be parsed with YAML.pm, but works with both YAML::Syck and YAML::XS. The results are: $ /usr/perl5.12.0/bin/ysh -MYAML < simple.yaml YAML Error: Inconsistent indentation level Code: YAML_PARSE_ERR_INCONSISTENT_INDENTATION Line: 2 Document: 1 at /usr/perl5.12.0/lib/site_perl/5.12.0/YAML/Loader.pm line 719 $ /usr/perl5.12.0/bin/ysh -MYAML::Syck < simple.yaml $VAR1 = '1 This yaml is invalid'; $ /usr/perl5.12.0/bin/ysh -MYAML::XS < simple.yaml $VAR1 = '1 This yaml is invalid'; I did not look up into the YAML spec to see if actually YAML.pm is right and the others are not. If this is the case then feel free to move this ticket to the YAML-Syck and YAML-XS RT queues. Regards, Slaven

Subject: Re: [rt.cpan.org #73736] Cannot parse simple scalar yaml containing TABs

To: bug-YAML [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Ingy dot Net <ingy [...] ingy.net>
There are so many things that YAML cannot do properly. I will add this to the test suite. The longer term plan is to move current YAML.pm to YAML::Old then to make YAML.pm act like a DBI for various yaml implementations. Some work on this has begun as YAML2.pm.

I get the same error when I try to load a line written by YAML::XS which it wrote with a newline and hanging indent. I.e.: my $foo = join(' ', ('ABC')x50); When dumped with YAML::XS this is: --- foo: ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ... but that loads correctly. When loaded with YAML.pm, it causes the error mentioned by the requestor. Mark

This example is correctly readable in the attachment file here. Mark

Unfortunately this means one is wedded to YAML::XS or YAML::Syck if any scalar line lengths are greater than the default width... 84 characters? Mark
