Pattern: Use of value with octal number

Issue: -

Description

This rule forbids values with octal numbers. In YAML, numbers that start with 0 are interpreted as octal, but this is not always wanted. For instance 010 is the city code of Beijing, and should not be converted to 8.

Examples

1. With octal-values: {forbid-implicit-octal: true}

   the following code snippets would PASS:

   user:
     city-code: '010'
   

   the following code snippets would PASS:

   user:
     city-code: 010,021
   

   the following code snippets would FAIL:

   user:
     city-code: 010
   

2. With octal-values: {forbid-explicit-octal: true}

   the following code snippets would PASS:

   user:
     city-code: '0o10'
   

   the following code snippets would FAIL:

   user:
     city-code: 0o10
