Hi, can you clarify the status of running Vale on YAML files? According the 3.5.0 release notes, it is expected to work.

I tried with the following .vale.ini:

[formats]
yml = yaml

[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale

[*.yaml]
BasedOnStyles = Vale

which will flag spelling errors if I run vale with that config on a markdown file. However, on the following .yml file:

link: saf;dlkjsd;lfkjsf

it does not flag the spelling error:

vale --config .vale.ini test.yml 
✔ 0 errors, 0 warnings and 0 suggestions in 1 file.

I also tried renaming to test.yaml, but that didn't change anything.

Is there something I can change in my config or test yaml file to get this to work? Any hints most appreciated!
