RAML validation fails with ":" in description

[kumaranae]

Hi Team,

we have a JaxRS API with documentation that contains ":" in it, like "HH:MM:SS". Once we generated a RAML file using Maven plugin, i tried to validate the RAML file using online validation tools. Its fails saying error as below,

Underlying error while parsing YAML syntax: 'mapping values are not allowed here in 'reader', line 126, column 41: ... description: cancels the job: stops the job's execution and ... ^

If am correct, the description should be closed with double quote which will escape the ":" character.

Regards,
Kumaran.A.E

Ok, know where that is. Will fix in the week-end.

I did a fairly narrow fix: if a line ends with a ":", I quote. Is this your use case ?

Below snippet from my RAML,

/firmwareUpgradeBatch/{batchName}/cancel:
post:
description: cancels the job: stops the job's execution and sets its status to canceled

My mistake: it's not just ending. it's ": ". I'll make it more general.

Thanks.

Try it again. Thanks for your input, BTW.
