Description
According to http://yaml.org/type/merge.html one can overwrite keys of merged maps. But since #10902 this does not work anymore, which makes merging with anchors useless.
Example YAML.
- key-with-duplicate: &alias1
foo: bar
foo: ignore
- key-without-duplicate: &alias2
foo: other
- changed-value-before-merge:
foo: overwrite
<< : *alias1
- changed-value-after-merge:
<< : *alias1
foo: overwrite
- multiple-merges-as-repeat:
<< : *alias1
<< : *alias2
- multiple-merges-as-array:
<< : [*alias1, *alias2]I tested http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ and http://yamltojson.com/ and http://nodeca.github.io/js-yaml/ and none of them works correctly.
