Dandelion fails with parse error: did not find expected whitespace

kingthrillgore commented 10 years ago

When I run dandelion status or dandelion deploy, I end up getting the same error below:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/psych.rb:205:in `parse': (<unknown>): did not find expected whitespace or line break while scanning a tag at line 4 column 11 (Psych::SyntaxError)

I ran my yml file through lint and it appears to be valid YAML. To be sure that's not the culprit, i've posted it below:

adapter: sftp
host: ftp.my-testing-server.com
username: afakeusername
password: hunter2
preserve_permissions: false
exclude:
  - .gitignore
  - .htaccess

Running OS X Mavericks, Ruby 2.0.0p481, dandelion version 0.4.6 from Gems.

@ghostfreeman Is there a ! character in your YAML file? If so you'll need to wrap the whole value in quotes (since ! is a special YAML character).

Example:

password: foo!

should become

password: "foo!"

Issue resolved. Next time I will pay attention to the YAML spec.
