ProjenyPackage.yaml throws an error on tab character #75
Description
I have a projeny project, with 1 empty unity project and 1 empty package.
ProjenyPackage.yaml:
Platforms:
- Windows #leading spaces - OK
- UWP #leading tab character - NOT OK
Inside Unity I'm trying to make the project dependent on the package. So I drag and drop OculusUtils package from the packages tab to the Assets Folder in Projeny GUI but get an error:
Screen 1
Screen 2
The error goes:
Failed while processing config yaml for project 'Master' (platform 'Windows'). Details: while scanning for the next token
found character '\t' that cannot start any token
in "", line 4, column 1:
- UWP
^
The solution is to replace tab characters with spaces, which is sorta a mortal sin :/

I'm guessing this is an issue with the YamlDotNet library. Not sure what we can do to fix it. Would be nice if it allowed either tabs or spaces like python. I doubt it could ever support using both at the same time though like in your example.

The YAML specification does not allow tabs. This isn't a library issues, its a user issue. This is intentionally how YAML works. Spaces only. Tabs have been frowned upon for ages and YAML Just outright disallows them.

@jwvanderbeck thanks for the detailed answer. I guess this can be closed than

This is still a a bug, if the projeny gui is outputing the file with tabs.
