Aria Automation 8.16.2/8.17 - 'Yes'/'No' strings being converted to Boolean true/false in Assembler -> Design -> Templates editor

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

In Aria Automation 8.16.2/8.17, editing a deployment which contains string values of either 'Yes' or 'No' can result in the below validation error:

• Invalid Template - Invalid Templates cannot be deployed. Correct the validation errors prior to deploying.

Example YAML code for an input using strings 'Yes'/'No': 

inputs:
  Input_1:
    type: string
    title: Input_1
    default: YES
    oneOf:
      - title: Yes
        const: YES
      - title: No
        const: NO

This code example will display the following validation error:

• Failed to match exactly one schema (matched out of 2)
  One of:
   Expected constant value true but was "true"
   Expected constant value false but was "true"

Environment

• Aria Automation 8.16.2
• Aria Automation 8.17

Resolution

Issue resolved in Aria Automation 8.18.

Workaround:

Change strings in the Template YAML code from 'Yes'/'No' to use any other values (E.g. 'Y'/'N' or 'Yes.'/'No.') to avoid them being converted to Boolean values.
