YAML error: We don't handle these values: Type: <class 'ruamel.yaml.comments.TaggedScalar'>

[gomin1d]

i add this file with strings:
messages.ru.zip

it has the format according to the documentation:
https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/formats.html#yaml

weblate:
  hello: ""
  orangutan": ""
  try": ""
  thanks": ""

but when loading it throws an error:

We don't handle these values: Type: <class 'ruamel.yaml.comments.TaggedScalar'> Data: = Previous: weblate->coding.sign.if_variable_equals

The issue you've reported needs to be addressed in the translate-toolkit. Please file the issue there, and include links to any relevant specifications about the formats (if applicable).

It seems that the equals sign should be quoted for some reason.

Changing

coding.sign.if_variable_equals: =

to

coding.sign.if_variable_equals: "="

should fix the parsing.

The proper fix should be translate/translate#4157

Wow thanks

I generated this yaml file using snakeyaml on java
thus it was generated
I didn't think that syntax violations are possible

I don't think it's syntax violation, it's rather issue in the parser. That should be fixed in the next translate-toolkit release.
