Summary
Previously the multiline output or special symbols in the user-provided strings, like description, were breaking YAML structure of the package manifest. Especially unfortunate was that this was happening during the last step, after all the work of generating the integration was completed.
We implement a method to safely output a string into a YAML template and apply it to all user-provided strings in the package manifest. As a result, strings are correctly saved.
The method consists in us using the
safeDump
fromjs-yaml
to render the following YAML structure:and then removing the preamble, keeping only the string. The resulting string will be a correctly formatted YAML string; it will be quoted as necessary, like this:
For multiline strings, the typical output would rely on the
|
symbol, e.g.When outputting such a string, care needs to be taken: it will work in the context of
but it will break in the context of
because it will be rendered as this incorrect YAML:
Therefore the documentation of
renderYAMLString
notes that it is only safe to use this function in the files that do not have indents in excess ofMaxManifestNestedIndent
. Our package manifest is safe in that regard.We add tests to verify the correctness of generated manifests.
