Vscode-yaml: yaml.customTags not working in 0.17.0

[data-ux]

Describe the bug

After updating from 0.16.0 to 0.17.0 all custom tags result in errors like:
unknown tag <!GetAtt>YAML

Expected Behavior

Custom tags continue to work

Current Behavior

Use of custom tags in YAML result in error.

Steps to Reproduce

When using the settings:

"yaml.customTags": [
        "!And",
        "!If",
        "!Not",
        "!Equals",
        "!Or",
        "!FindInMap sequence",
        "!Base64",
        "!Cidr",
        "!Ref",
        "!Sub",
        "!GetAtt",
        "!GetAZs",
        "!ImportValue",
        "!Select",
        "!Select sequence",
        "!Split",
        "!Join sequence"
    ]

And in YAML typing, eg.
RoleArn: !GetAtt ECSRunTaskAsyncRole.Arn

Results in error:
unknown tag <!GetAtt>YAML

Environment

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

@data-ux I cannot reproduce this:

I used yaml.customTags which you provide.

Can you provide more info:

• Exact yaml.customTags preference, and any other yaml preference.
• Is there any JSON Schema associated with your yaml file?
• The content and name of yaml file where you has that error.

I can't reproduce it either. Can you also let us know what yaml related extensions you are using?

I am also running the extension on MacOS. Anything else I can provide to help resolve?

[chace86]

Making a change to a yaml file and then saving caused the file to reset and validation errors resolved.

That worked for me. It's like it load the configuration just after the file change and not when it is open.

[ssbarnea]

Is it possible to use contributes: and extend the list of customTags from another extension?

I have a list of tags which are allowed for some Ansible files and I do not want them to be highlighted as unknown by YAML extension.

Ideally these tags should be configured per schema file for which we already have extension points, but even a global approach would suffice for now.

Same error, same fix here, but I have to make a change and re-save the file every time I reopen vscode.
