[YANGTOOLS-537] Yang parsing succeeds with missing '}' in leaf

Blocks — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 18:35:40 +0000

If you omit the ending '}' for a leaf statement, parsing succeeds and code is generated, or at least some of it as in some cases Java compilation may fail.

Example: in the mdsal project, go to mdsal/model/ietf/ietf-restconf and do mvn clean. Open src/main/yang/ietf-restconf@2013-10-19.yang. On line 189, remove the ending '}':

leaf edit-id

{ type string; description "Arbitrary string index for the edit. Error messages returned by the server pertaining to a specific edit will be identified by this value."; }

--> line 189

Run mvn and you should see yang parsing succeed and files generated but a Java compilation error.
