Feature: Support flat YAML

[Bigyls]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with a YAML file that I call flat:

name: Test
author: Me
category: YAML

And when I try to create my schema I get the following error when launching the action:

name:
  type: string
  description: Name of the yaml value
  required: true
...

Error: workflow is not valid. 'schema.yml': yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 3: cannot unmarshal !!map into string

Does anyone have an idea? I have the impression that this error is due to the handling of https://github.com/ketanSaxena/schema-validator

👋 Hey @Bigyls! I tried to reproduce this error and I'm not able to see it. Here are some logs of a workflow run - logs from this pull request.

Thanks for the reply @GrantBirki!

Okay, I see! It was my local tests with act (https://github.com/nektos/act).

Flat YAML works very well.

But now I get an error because my YAML file contains a “type” entry:

My YAML:

flags:
  - {
    type: "regex",
    content: "^test$",
    data: "case_insensitive",
  }

Schema:

flags:
  - type: string
    type:
      type: string
      description: Type of the flag
      enum: ["regex", "static"]
    content:
      type: string
      description: Content of the flag
    data:
      type: string
      description: Data of the flag

Error:

ERROR : YAMLException: duplicated mapping key at line 82, column -92:
        type:
        ^

There is a way to counter this problem or disable the check of "flags" in my yaml to avoid the following errors:

      {
        "path": "flags.0",
        "message": "flags.0 is not present in schema"
      }

@Bigyls hmm to be honest I'm not quite sure what the issue would be here

No problem @GrantBirki, there is a way to bypass a check of one item like hoobies is your examples ?

Because if the item is not in the schema, there is an error like hoobies not in schema but if I don't want to check this item how I can do ?
