convert from json to yaml have a bug

[saturn99]

I have 2 json file (1.json and 2.json)

> ./dyff between 1.json 2.json

After I converted them to "yaml"; I execute the above command again for yamel files

​> ./dyff yaml 1.json > 1.yaml
> ./dyff yaml 2.json > 2.yaml
> 
> ./dyff between 1.yaml 2.yaml 
╭ Error occurred
│ failed to load input files: unable to parse data from
│ 1.yaml: yaml: line 43: block sequence entries
│ are not allowed in this context
╵

My json file is correct, it parses with jq and can be properly converted to yaml by another tool

dyff version : 1.7.0

Thanks for bringing this up. I am somewhat suspecting the JSON to YAML conversation to misbehave. I am looking into it. In the meantime, if you know you feed the files into other tools later, consider using the --plain command-line flag, this is using the standard libraries internally and gives you a plain and simple output. Without this, the content is feed through the code that is also responsible for the coloring, which will be later dropped in case the tool realises the output is redirected anyway.

To be honest, I am not seeing the problem in the content in the screenshot, but I took a guess and was able to get a similar error message when using a dash in a string through the conversion logic. That dash not being quoted is definitely a bug, I am just not sure if it is the same problem you are facing. Let me know if you still have the issue with a new version of dyff once it is released.

Unfortunately, I forgot to attach Json's example file that led to the error, and I apologize for that.

out.json:

[
  {"text": "-" }
]

There was a problem with quoting the - sign, which was fixed in version 1.7.1;
