Unable to parse YAML file config on Windows.

• Cookiecutter version: 2.1
• Template project url: Remove sphinx-click. pytask-dev/cookiecutter-pytask-project#22
• Python version: 3.7-3.10
• Operating System: Windows

Description:

When I am running the tests for my cookiecutter on Windows, the cookiecutter cannot be created because: InvalidConfiguration('Unable to parse YAML file C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pytest-of-...\\pytest-713\\user_dir0\\config.'

The content of the file is

cookiecutters_dir: "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pytest-of-user\pytest-713\user_dir0\cookiecutters"
replay_dir: "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pytest-of-user\pytest-713\user_dir0\cookiecutter_replay"

I am not familiar enough with YAML, but single quotes seem to be required here for a valid YAML file. At least, that is what http://www.yamllint.com/ tells me.

The same tests work with cookiecutter v1.7.3. Surprisingly, the config file looks identical with double quotes around the paths. Did the YAML reader change?

What I've run:

Run pytest in linked cookiecutter.

Seems like the issue is on the pytest-cookies side, since it is generating user config during tests. I've submitted a PR that should fix this.

@jensens @pydanny @ssbarnea Please close this issue.

It appears to be an issue in the test suite, caused by an older version of pytest-cookies, which has since been fixed.

Thanks for the reminder. The issue has been fixed in hackebrot/pytest-cookies#63 and released with pytest-cookies v0.7.
