Customize yaml.Marshal wrap behavior

[nicksnyder]

The yaml.Marshal appears to split long string values on to multiple lines. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

[bgveenstra]

The added linebreaks were also unexpected for me (and causes the output not to work, in my case).

Also found an earlier report about this behavior being unexpected (#348).

The 80-character limit is set on the Encoder's emitter:

yaml/emitterc.go

Line 286 in 7c97801

if emitter.best_width >= 0 && emitter.best_width <= emitter.best_indent*2 {

I didn't see a way through the API to modify these settings, but I would definitely be excited to use one.

This feature confuses me too. I use this package to modify ConfigMap of k8s, but after an 'Unmarshal' and a 'Marshal' operations, the configmap appears more differences than I except. Hope for some APIs to define these settings.

The same issue with you guys. I Marshal the data into a yaml text file, then the function generates an unexpected line break in the marshaled bytes array like below:

Is there any standard length about the best_width for golang's yaml?

Since this is getting mentioned, v2.3.0 fixes this by setting the default line length limit to -1 or infinity - see #571
