Siteleaf removes page content on sync

[petealbertson]

This is the first time I've experienced a very bizarre issue and am at a loss for how to fix.

Issue/steps to reproduce:

• I updated an existing page record in my code editor, committed the changes, and pushed to master (I also tried branching and merging via PR to the exact same result).
• After the commit hits master, Siteleaf syncs as expected. But the "sync" process removes all of the content in the markdown document, instead leaving an empty page.
• Both in the siteleaf admin and my local editor (after pulling down master's latest) the file is blank.
• Looking at the commit history in GH, after my commit to master, there is a commit from Siteleaf whose diff shows a deletion of all of the page's content and fields.

Solutions already attempted:

• I created a new page via Siteleaf admin, pulled it down via git, edited and pushed back to master. Same result
• Create a wholly new markdown document/page in git locally. Same result.
• turning off and turning back on again Github sync in the Siteleaf settings. Same result after reconnecting.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I figured it out! It appears it was caused by a YAML exception. Is this desired behavior? I feel like those errors previously caused builds to fail (also undesirable) but just having the page wiped out feels alarming.

Thanks for following up! If it there is a YAML parsing error, Siteleaf/Jekyll would not be able to parse. I'll see what we could do to make this error a little more friendly though 😅
