When UnwrapScalar is enabled (the default for yaml output), the yaml encoder writes node.Value verbatim as a bare line. Any string whose content is itself a valid YAML mapping, sequence, or alias then round trips as that container instead of as a string. For example, the input document `"this: should really work"` previously re-emitted as the bare line `this: should really work`, which the next reader parses as a one key map, destroying the original scalar. The same problem surfaces whenever a multiline string literal happens to contain `key: value` lines, which is the form the bug report uses for its second reproducer. Guard the fast-path by re-parsing node.Value with yaml.v4: if the bare form decodes to a non-scalar, fall through to the regular encoder so it can apply the quoting style required by the YAML spec. The check is limited to `!!str` nodes and to structural reinterpretations, so tag expressions such as `!!int` and plain strings that re-read as integers, booleans, or nulls are unaffected. An unparseable value (e.g. one containing NUL) stays on the fast-path so downstream NUL-aware writers still see the raw bytes. Updates the base64 "decode yaml document" scenario whose expected output was `a: apple\n` bare; it is now emitted as a block literal, which round-trips back to the same string. Reproducer: ``` printf '"this: should really work"\n' | yq -p yaml -o yaml ``` Before this fix the second run of yq parses the output as a map; after, it remains the original string. Fixes #2608 |
