Parse errors on strings containing a single quote

[bobziuchkovski]

Description

When parsing a scalar value that contains a ' character within it, fkYAML throws an exception.

Reproduction steps

Try parsing either of the following:

stuff:
  - id: foo
    name: "Bob's stuff"

stuff:
  - id: foo
    name: Bob's stuff

Both should be valid YAML, but the single quote throws off the parser: fkyaml::v0_2_1::exception: Invalid single quotation mark found in a string token.

Expected vs. actual results

Expected: Parse the name field as "Bob's stuff" string. Actual: Exception thrown: fkyaml::v0_2_1::exception: Invalid single quotation mark found in a string token.

Thanks for your report!
I misunderstood the specification for single quotation marks (like they must be escaped, which is not true as you pointed out).
This IS a bug and I'll fix it soon.

[bobziuchkovski]

No problem. And honestly there's no hurry on my end. I'm able to work-around it just fine.

@bobziuchkovski
Thanks, but I've already made local changes to fkYAML with which can successfully parse strings containing single quotes.
I'll create a PR for the changes tonight.

The PR fixing this issue has been merged!
Since all the CI checks have passed, the fix should work on your environment too.

[bobziuchkovski]

Confirmed! This is working as expected now. Thanks!
