Psych::SyntaxError

If I duplicate line 79 import to line 80 the error still reports line 80 as the same problem.

[taqtiqa-mark]

Is it possible that line 80 refers to a different file? Even a temporary file?

This is an invalid YAML error. I cannot help without seeing the YAMLs.
This is probably an indentation error.

[taqtiqa-mark]

This is an invalid YAML error.

Agreed. But what is invalid?
The vscode linter from Redhat says everything is good:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-yaml

This is probably an indentation error.

Maybe that could be a test case - to land on error logic that isolates the error?

[taqtiqa-mark]

there are a couple of 1000 lines.... should we start at line 1 :)

[DannyBen]

Is you get a Psych::SyntaxError, this is outside of bashly's control. It means the YAML is not a valid YAML syntax, and the Ruby YAML library is incapable of reading it.

If you have a YAML file with over 2000 lines, you should split it using import.

You can also try to figure out what is wrong with your YAML in an online service such as http://www.yamllint.com/

Another debugging trick: delete half the file and try. If you still see an error, it is in the other half. Rinse and repeat.

There is literally nothing I can do from bashly's perspective. If the Psych error does not show you the exact file and line it fails on, neither can I.

Addressed above.

I'm more optimistic - just busy right now.

[DannyBen]

I am closing this issue.
It is not something I can fix, and I cannot help you fix your YAML without seeing it.
