UTF8-BOM suddenly an unsupported encoding #245

Closed ascott18 closed 4 years ago

ascott18 commented 5 years ago

We had some .yml files that were saved with UTF8-BOM. These had worked for a long time, until they didn't - some time between 2019/06/04 and 2019/06/28 is when they stopped working.

We were getting the error /build/alpha.yml (Line: 1, Col: 1): Unexpected value 'trigger'. trigger wasn't actually the issue here - it was the BOMs at 1,1 that were causing things to break.

Specific files (and commit to fix the issue) that were encountering this issue: https://github.com/IntelliTect/Coalesce/commit/961fcd2cca2af6ff7b5a48bef7cca91ba1410709

Specific build that experienced this issue: https://intellitect.visualstudio.com/Coalesce/_build/results?buildId=5552&view=results

Was there an announcement that support for UTF8 w/ BOM would be dropped? If this was intentional, can a better error message be added? If this was not intentional, how are significant breaking changes like this slipping through?
