yaml front matter not working in 6.11.0 ?

[Pete Schirmer]

previously for template files (eco / handlebars / whatever) I was able to start the file with a yaml section, now its generating errors when I do so.. any ideas why? 

ie: 

---

name:'module test'

content: {a:'foo', b:'bar'}

---

<div>

<h1>{{document.name}}</h1>

<ul>

<li>{{document.content.a}}</li>

<li>{{document.content.b}}</li>

</ul>

</div>

generates the error: 

warning: Rendering partial failed: module_test.html.hb. The error follows:

warning: An error occured: Unable to parse. undefined

error: Failed to read the file: /src/partials/module_test.html.hb

also related, is there a way to include the data as an external json file?

might have something to do with version 6.9.2 swapping yaml for yamljs ?

I tried reverting but didn't seem to fix so maybe not related...

I suppose its not yaml per se but the file meta data?

should have noted this did not happen without this part:

---

name:'module test'

content: {a:'foo', b:'bar'}

GAH finally figured it out, it's a whitespace problem, needs a space after the colon: 

---
name: 'module test'
meta_data: {a:'foo', b:'bar'}

Hehe. Yeah, the previous YAML parser we use to use was very lenient however gave really weird results sometimes. The new YAML parser is a lot stricter but much more stable. It'll also help you figure out the error as well sometimes. :)
