Multiline support when parsing an array to yaml

[adrianocastro189]

Hey there!

I'm trying to convert an array to yaml in a test method with a very simple structure like this:

$value = ['test-key-1' => "this is a test with\r\na line break"]

When I do Yaml::dump($value), the output is:

test-key-1: this is a test with\r\na line break

Question: shouldn't it handle the line break as:

test-key-1: |
  this is a test with
  a line break

I may be missing something when calling the dump method, perhaps an option. But I tried a few things and can't achieve that. Could anyone shine some light on this? Thanks!

Hello, sorry for the late response.
The string as you declared it is valid in itself : you can specify strings in multiple ways.
The fact that you're seeing the line breaks as-is is strange though : were you using var_dump to see the value ?

@dallgoot no worries at all and I appreciate your answer.
At that time I posted this question, I installed symfony/yaml on my application and it covered the cases I needed, so it's all good and the application is working fine.
