Are schemas broken?

I have been having an issue where date strings are being converted to date objects but I want to keep them as strings.

The load function works without a schema specified. I tried using the various schemas hoping I could get just plain old strings but specifying any schema results in the error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')

    at composeNode (/home/runner/work/convert-data-using-scripts/convert-data-using-scripts/main/node_modules/js-yaml/lib/loader.js:1492:60)

I specified the schema like so:

const jsYaml = require('js-yaml');
const { fm, content } = extractFrontmatter(contents);
const extractedData = jsYaml.load(fm, {
  schema: 'FAILSAFE_SCHEMA'
});

Are schemas broken? Is there another way to prevent date strings being converted into date objects?

I figured this out, adding single quotes around the value ensures it gets parsed into a string rather than into a date object.
