Different serialization output: three dots in the end of serialized yaml

[joostas]

Serialize simple value to yaml:

var serializer = new Serializer();
var output = serializer.Serialize(42);

output: "42\r\n...\r\n" (three dots at the end)

Serialize array value to yaml:

var serializer = new Serializer();
var output = serializer.Serialize(new int[]{42});

output: "- 42\r\n" (no dots at the end)

Question: Why same serialization setup produces different output in the end of document (...)?
Question: Is it possible to "hide" three dots when converting simple value?

This is unexpected, and probably a bug. I'll try look into it tomorrow and get back to you.

This was indeed a bug. The fix will be included in the next release.

I'm using YamlStream and also get the three dots at the end of the document.

var yamlStream = new YamlStream(new YamlDocument(
    new YamlMappingNode(
        new YamlScalarNode("test"), new YamlScalarNode("42"))));

var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
yamlStream.Save(stringWriter);

// stringwriter: "test: 42\r\n...\r\n"

Is this indented? Is it possible to disable the emitting of the three dots?

Thanks

YamlDotNet version: 8.0.0

The 3 dots ... are a valid, optional part of the formal YAML file format and indicate the end of a document.

It's been a while, and saving with a YamlStream still adds the three dots at the end of the file, is there any way to disable it?
It's been more than a year since the last reply, dunno if @lampenlampen is still active but, have you found a way to disable them?

@geferon and any other person that land here with the 3 dots. Try serialization instead of saving the stream. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50878627/yamdocument-to-text-representation-end-with-3-dots
