How to control indents via param options to dump?

[diberry]

An extra 2 spaces is getting added on the item "C#" and its href. How do I turn this off?

original yaml:

`

• name: LUIS Documentation
  href: index.yml
• name: Overview
  expanded: true
  items:
  • name: C#
    href: https://cognitive.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/topics/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf/127872-luis-language-understanding-intelligent-service
    `

Final yaml where last 2 lines have additional (but unwanted) 2 spaces:

`

• name: LUIS Documentation
  href: index.yml
• name: Overview
  expanded: true
  items:
  • name: 'C#'
    href: 'https://cognitive.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/topics/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf/127872-luis-language-understanding-intelligent-service'
    `

noArrayIndent ?

[diberry]

Here are all my options, I toggled noArrayIndent and the results are in the screenshot. Left = original

options={ "skipInvalid":false, "noCompatMode":false, "sortKeys":false, "lineWidth":3000, "noArrayIndent":false, "noRefs":true, "flowLevel":-1, "condenseFlow":false }

[puzrin]

Is this this a question or not? Is this issue solved?

@diberry could you paste your results as text instead of a screenshot? just put three backticks in one line
before and after the pasted snippet. or indent the whle snippet with 4 spaces. makes it easier to copy snippets and try them out.

@puzrin it looks like a bug to me. in the picture on the right the YAML seems invalid. items like href: ... in line 2 and expanded: ... in line 4 have no indent

[diberry]

@perlpunk Thanks for the pointer.
@puzrin I think it is a bug - it I'm not as strict with Yaml as this library so I don't know if it is the library as a bug, the the library as intended behavior.

What I would like but not sure how to get it from .dump() - notice the same indent spacing as original.

  href: index.yml

  - name: 'C#'
    'href: https://cognitive.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/topics/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf/127872-luis-language-understanding-intelligent-service'

That's certainly a bug, need fix. I've asked PR author. Or anyone else can do new PR.

Seems happen when root is array (rare case, missed)

[diberry]

@puzrin I would like to fix and PR.

[puzrin]

No problem. https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml/pull/461/files - use this as example. If implementation will be correct, i'll approve & release asap.
