yamljs fails to parse my YAML file, of which the contents are the following:

# Plugin Manifest
plugin:
    name: Plugin Test
    version: 1.0.0
    main: index.js

I'm not sure what's going on here. Do you know the issue?

From your stack trace, I believe you are giving a Buffer instance to Yaml.parse(), while it is expecting a string. We could definitely add more checks to provide a more understandable error, but you should give a string to Yaml.parse() and will be fine.

Okay. Thank you.
