Saving and loading settings in yaml files

[gitfvb]

This looks promising: https://github.com/cloudbase/powershell-yaml

$settings | ConvertTo-Yaml | Set-Content -path "settings.yaml" -Encoding UTF8 
$s = get-content -Path settings.yaml -Encoding UTF8 -Raw | ConvertFrom-Yaml

But the second command gives us a hashtable back instead of a pscustomobject, which could also be handled, but needs a second thought.

Good hints on the second topic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72218329/unable-to-convert-yaml-to-powershell-object

So this should work

[pscustomobject]$os_list = (ConvertFrom-Yaml -yaml (get-content -Raw C:\Powershell\TestCSVs\variables.stg.yml))
[pscustomobject]$os_list = ConvertTo-Yaml $os_list -JsonCompatible

or this, too

$documentWithVariables = Get-Content -Path ..\variables.stg.yml -Raw |ConvertFrom-Yaml 
$oData = [PSCustomObject]$documentWithVariables.variables
