deletion of comments when using __str()__ #56

Open charlesthiebaut opened 3 years ago

charlesthiebaut commented 3 years ago

when using lookml.File(file).str() , the output file doesn't have the comments (line starting with #).

any idea how to keep them ?

Hi @charlesthiebaut the current implementation does not preserve comments, due to a limitation of the underlying parser. Definitely keen on adding this however, I'll notify you as soon as I start on the project (likely a few weeks away)
