About this tool

Reports whether a document parses, with the line and column of the first failure. Indentation errors are by far the most common cause.

Limitations

  • Indentation errors in YAML often report a line or two after the mistake actually happened.

Questions

It says invalid but the indentation looks right.
Check for tab characters. YAML forbids tabs for indentation, and most editors render them identically to spaces.
