YAMLException: can not read a block mapping entry;

[darrenbarklie]

I've really enjoyed working with Fabricator so far, however I've hit an error that I'm not sure how to resolve.

Making edits to files in the project trigger the assemble:watch command to refresh the browser, however no saves are reflected in the updated window. Rolling back to previous commits doesn't appear to help so would appreciate any support.

Looks like a YAML parsing error. Make sure you're only using spaces and not tabs in the YAML files.

[darrenbarklie]

Not sure how this occurred; I combed through the offending loader.js file to no avail. Thankfully a clean install and porting my SASS and modules resolved things. Many thanks for the support @LukeAskew and thanks once again for an awesome framework.

Had the same problem, the cause of it was wrong syntaxing in the comments of fabricator. Most common failure may be beginning a new line without "|".

Same problem, the reason is that there is not a space between tags and tag name. like this tags:PHP ==> tags: PHP

syncher-bin is right for me

I just had this issue pop up out of nowhere w/ one of my structure templates. Double check and make sure that the file uses spaces instead of tabs for indentation.

or you may have added a " somewhere in between in the previous line line 6 which is read mistakenly

description: "Have you ever heard your colleagues say "Just Kidding" in the middle of serious meetings "
date: "2019-06-08T17:32:57.143Z"

I got the exact same error for the above.

When I replaced the "Just Kidding" with 'Just Kidding' It worked.

This worked for me. There was a don't in a previous line and that caused issues.
