PI69794: UNABLE TO PARSE BLUEPRINT EVEN THOUGH STANDARD YAML SYNTAX IS USED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A blueprint containing valid yaml syntax shows error "Syntax
  errors in <blueprint_name>" and the line with the error shows an
  "Unable to parse" error.
  
  Even though the blueprint contains valid yaml syntax it is not
  in a form that the blueprint editor writes by default.  For
  example, by default the blueprint editor writes a property with
  a parameterized value as:
  
      urbancode_deploy_url: { get_param: ucd_server_url }
  
  The following is also valid yaml syntax, but is flagged with a
  parsing error:
  
      urbancode_deploy_url:
          get_param: ucd_server_url
  
  
  Another example is the syntax for get_attr.  By default the
  blueprint editor writes
  
      application: { get_attr: [resource_tree, application_name] }
  
  The following is also valid yaml syntax, but is flagged with a
  parsing error:
  
      application:
          get_attr:
          - vepc_resource_tree
          - application_name
  

Local fix

• The only work around is to format the syntax in a way that is
  understood by the blueprint editor.
