Yml key cannot contain dot

[GrapeBaBa]

I have a yml file which contain dot in yml key below, it will understand dot as a separator. Any approach could I use to escape dot?

    # Required. list of peers from participating orgs
    peers:
      peer0.hlc.com:
        # [Optional]. will this peer be sent transaction proposals for endorsement? The peer must
        # have the chaincode installed. The app can also use this property to decide which peers
        # to send the chaincode install request. Default: true
        endorsingPeer: true

        # [Optional]. will this peer be sent query proposals? The peer must have the chaincode
        # installed. The app can also use this property to decide which peers to send the
        # chaincode install request. Default: true
        chaincodeQuery: true

        # [Optional]. will this peer be sent query proposals that do not require chaincodes, like
        # queryBlock(), queryTransaction(), etc. Default: true
        ledgerQuery: true

        # [Optional]. will this peer be the target of the SDK's listener registration? All peers can
        # produce events but the app typically only needs to connect to one to listen to events.
        # Default: true
        eventSource: true

When request http://localhost:8888/master/xx-xx.yml it will show like that

You are using the yml endpoint correct? What are you trying to do? Just serve the raw file?

[GrapeBaBa]

@spencergibb I think yaml endpoint correct. Yeah, not only raw file but also read key directly. But I am using a nodejs client. Both will get wrong key which I don't expect

[dsyer]

Try the plain text endpoint e.g. http://localhost:8888/{app}/{profile}/{label}/filename.yml. The environment endpoint is for Spring Boot clients.

this is happen to me also , any news about it ? com.leadspace: DEBUG turn to loggers: com: leadspace: DEBUG

[ryanjbaxter]

See the suggestion in the issue

[raviverel]

but i dont want the raw file....why this is not support ?

[dsyer]

Why do you care? What does your client do with the YAML? If it is a Spring Boot config file then if works already I think.

[raviverel]

no we are pulling it in our deployment , we dont use spring boot

[dsyer]

If you don't use Spring Boot then really the plain text endpoint is the only one that makes sense isn't it? What stops you from using that?

[raviverel]

we are using the inherit functionality , it help us to write simple config ( got alot of env with common config )

[dsyer]

OK, well then you can't use periods in field names I guess, unless you escape them maybe (did you try quoting the keys?).

[raviverel]

yes.. tried this: "[bar.com]":

by doc its suppose to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34070987/escaping-a-dot-in-a-map-key-in-yaml-in-spring-boot but it is not..

i think its a bug..

[dsyer]

Not really a bug. It was never designed to work that way.

[raviverel]

any chance it will be done ?

[dsyer]

I don't think it's possible. Have a look if you want and send a PR if you find a way.
