Description Evgeny Kolesnikov 2021-07-13 07:31:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
The yamlfilecontent probe of the scanner is unable to coherently represent NULL values.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.4

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the scanner with a content targeting a YAML file with different types of NULL values present in the document (undefined or empty node, literal NULL value etc)
2. Check the report: NULL values would be represented in a different ways (empty, absent entry, empty quoted string etc).
3.

Actual results:
NULLs are empty or absent.

Expected results:
NULLs are coherently marked in a special way, that would allow to distinguish them from empty strings.
