Describe the bug

If we check the content of meta.yaml, its content is in JSON format:

bash-5.0# ls
devfile.yaml  devworkspace-che-theia-latest.yaml  devworkspace-che-theia-next.yaml  meta.yaml
bash-5.0# cat meta.yaml 
{

good news is that you can open a json file and dump it to yaml with yq

yq -y . < /tmp/meta.json.yaml > /tmp/meta.actual.yaml

@nickboldt thanks, should be a quick fix

[benoitf]

well, it's just that when we're calling yq, by default yq output to json rather than yaml
