Missing required property value reported as type error

[gee4vee]

Describe the bug

A missing required property is reported as a type error.

Incorrect type. Expected "string".

This is likely due to the YAML to JSON conversion which inserts a null where the yaml has no value.

Expected Behavior

The error should be reported as a missing value.

Current Behavior

The error is reported as at type error.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy and open this blueprint in vscode where the yaml-language-server is installed.
2. Add this yaml-language-server schema declaration: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cloud-Schematics/vscode-blueprint-schema/master/blueprint_schema.json
3. Remove the value of the name of one of the modules.

Environment

• [x] Windows
• [x] Mac
• [x] Linux
• [ ] other (please specify)

I do not think the current behaviour is incorrect in this case. In YAML, empty values are recognized as null . So the parser basically reports the value as null, and the schema validator reports that the schema is expecting a string.

This can probably be resolved on the referenced schema by defining the type of the property as name : { "type": ["string", "null"] }
