Getting parser error

[makhai88]

I created a .ini file with credential to access looker. But i am getting this error when executed on Linux Terminal.

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 171, in parse_document_start
    raise ParserError(None, None,
yaml.parser.ParserError: expected '<document start>', but found '<scalar>'

in "/home/user/looker.ini", line 2, column 1

here is the .ini file, please help me to fix the issue, i am not a programmer, hence need more help solving this issue

[Looker]
base_url=https://looker.company.de
client_id=sxxxxxxxxxxxxx
client_secret=Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
verify_ssl=True

[josephaxisa]

@makhai88 that ini file seems valid. Could you show the full stack trace please? What's command are you using in the terminal?

[makhai88]

@josephaxisa henry pulse --path /home/lahiru/looker.ini

@makhai88 you need to upgrade henry. Ini files weren't supported in older versions.

[makhai88]

@josephaxisa i upgrade using following command pip3 install --upgrade henry

I ran henry command after. But still get the same error.

If i am wrong please give me the command also.

[makhai88]

henry pulse --host=company.looker.com --client_id=sxxxxxx --client_secret=Jxxxxx

if i use the above command, i get following error

@makhai88 try pip list | grep henry to confirm that you are on 0.2.3.

You are using Python 3.8 and it requires Python <3.8 to install, that is why it's not installing the latest when upgrading. I suspect it's installing a version where there was no version upper bound. You can download pyenv to manage your python versions, which will allow you to install 3.7.6 very easily and that will in turn allow you to install henry v0.2.3

[makhai88]

pip3 install -U henry

this is what i got after running above

Requirement already up-to-date: henry in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (0.1.3)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: pyyaml in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from henry) (5.3.1)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: requests in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from henry) (2.22.0)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: tqdm in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from henry) (4.60.0)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: tabulate in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from henry) (0.8.9)

[josephaxisa]

Yeah, please see my comment above. That's exactly what's going on
