Parsing yaml using jackson databind causes MismatchedInputException












0















The format of yaml I am trying to read is as follows



- name: storage
scm: git
src: git+https://bitbucket.org/cer/linux_storage_jenkins.git
version: '5'
- name: linux_jenkins
scm: git
src: git+https://bitbucket.org/cer/linux_jenkins.git
version: '8'


My model is simple



public class Requirementsyml {
//setter and getter in place
private List<Requirement> items;
}

public class Requirement {
private String name;
private String scm;
private String src;
private String version;
}


I am trying to read the yaml contents as follows:



ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(new YAMLFactory());
Requirementsyml req = mapper.readValue(yaml_file_content, Requirementsyml.class);


However I am getting the following exception
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot deserialize instance of Requirementsyml out of START_ARRAY token



Since the model has a list I think the input should not be mismatched.
I tried to provide yaml file as a java file object, instead of its content as string. The result remains the same. What am I missing?

          yaml structure should be having items array/list



          items:
          - name: storage
          scm: git
          src: git+https://bitbucket.org/cer/linux_storage_jenkins.git
          version: '5'
          - name: linux_jenkins
          scm: git
          src: git+https://bitbucket.org/cer/linux_jenkins.git
          version: '8'


          or else you can read it as list of requirements with no change to yaml



          @Test
          void test() throws IOException {
          ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(new YAMLFactory());
          List<Requirement> requirements = mapper.readValue(new File("src/test/resources/requirements.yml"), new TypeReference<List<Requirement>>() {});
          assertEquals(2, requirements.size());
          }


          also make sure Requirement and other class has no args constructor, otherwise set appropriate flags on ObjectMapper
