Handling commit messages with a quote character
Issue
Error on commit:
Error parsing YAML file: can not read a block mapping entry; a multiline key may not be an implicit key at line 13, column 30
Possible cause
Commit message that determines the logical flow of a pipeline includes quotes as part of the message. One example of using a commit message to decide the flow of a pipeline, is to skip continuous integration if the commit message contains "--skip-ci"
. Since the commit message contains a quote character, it can result in the error.
Example:
YAML
This is a string quotes issue. The commit message uses a ‘ symbol, as does the YAML file itself to denote string. This breaks the YAML file.
Solution
Use a multiline string.
