I've browsed similar questions and believe i've applied all that i've been able to glean from answers.
I have a .yml file where as far as I can tell each element is formatted identically. And yet according to YamlLint.com
(<unknown>): mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 119 column 16
In this case, line 119 is the line containing the second instance the word "transitions" below. That I can tell each element is formatted identically. Am I missing something here?
landingPage:
include: false
transitions:
-
condition:location
nextState:location
location:
include:false
transitions:
-
condition:excluded
nextState:excluded
excluded:
include:false

condition:excluded
nextState: excluded
-
condition:age
nextState:age
You cannot have a multiline plain scalar, such as your include:false transitions
be the key to a mapping, that is why you get the mapping values not allowed in this context error.
Either you forgot that you have to have a space after the value indicator (:
), and you meant to do:
include: false
transitions:
or you need to quote your multi-line scalar:
'include:false
transitions':
or you need to put that plain scalar on one line:
include:false transitions:
please note that some libraries do not allow value indicators in a plain scalar at all, even if they are not followed by space
