Issue: YAMLParseError in beta V10.1.8599652

[Digital-Grinnell]

Describe the bug
I was running the beta version and upon update to v10.1.8599652 I started getting "YAMLParseError" messages whenever I opened or had my scripts process any .md with a leading "---" YAML frontmatter marker. Removing the "---" did remove the error, but naturally broke my Markdown.

To Reproduce

1. Enable beta v10.1.8599652
2. Open any .md file with YAML frontmatter and an opening '---' line
3. See the error

Expected behavior
A '---' opening line before the YAML frontmatter is normal and necessary. But if I remove it the syntax error goes away, but leaves my Markdown unuseable. Likewise, if I disable the beta version and switch to the production release (v10.0.2 in my case) the error is no longer present.

Desktop

• OS: MacOS v12.7.4 or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• Browser: Firefox

Additional Context
Note that I have a Python script run from a FM button and that script is also broken by this bug. The script parses each .md file in my content folder presumably in a similar manner as the VSCode editor does. With the beta version enabled the script no longer works, but it also returns no errors. After switching to the production version all is well again.

Hi @Digital-Grinnell, thank you for opening the issue. Can you test out other BETA versions? The version you've mentioned only included an HTML class fix, and I can't seem to reproduce the issue. Looking for a clue why it would occur.

[estruyf]

Could you provide me with some sample content on which you have the issue?

[Digital-Grinnell]

Sure, it was happening on every piece of .md content in my site. The last one I edited was:

Do you maybe have the YAML extension installed? I am also experiencing weird YAML errors, but in other files (for instance, template files), where the YAML parser cites frontmatter issues in a content file (not the current file loaded). Going into that content file and then saving it silences the error for a bit, until it finds another content file to complain about.

I thought this might be a YAML plugin issue, not a Frontmatter plugin issue.

Latest Beta version, also for the past two days.

I found the issue. It was an experiment for #792, but as it was still in testing, I have reverted that change. The new beta should fix it.

I don’t believe I have any YAML extension loaded, at least none came up when I checked my installed extensions list. When I removed the FM extension the problem went away, and did not return when I replaced the beta with the production release.

My errors disappeared after this update.

Thanks @davidsneighbour for verifying
