Unexpected reformatting of block scalar?

[andoks]

With the following example, yamlfmt rewrites the value of "something" to not use the block scalar syntax when specifying scan_folded_as_literal=true ( yamlfmt -formatter scan_folded_as_literal=true test.yml), if there is a space character after any of the lines in the scalar. I am not an expert in YAML though, so this might be intentional, but it took me by surprise.

something: >
  {
   "foo": "bar", 
  }

Thanks for opening an issue!

This is not intentional, it's just something weird with the yaml library that I haven't been able to solve. If there is a space at the end of a block scalar string, the yaml library decides it's not printable for some reason. It's either a bug with their raw parser or something to do with the hack we have to retain newlines in formatted output.

I've got #86 open for this already. Sorry I don't have a better answer at the moment for how to resolve this; these kinds of issues in the yaml library are always the hardest to fix.

Going to close this issue since I'll continue tracking work in #86; if you can +1 that bug as well it helps me keep track. Thanks!
