task configure - failing and I am not sure how to troubleshoot

[jsaveker]

Hey folks....

I am standing up a new cluster but getting stuck on "task configure"

I have checked the config.yaml very carefully but am not sure how to troubleshoot.

File "/home/[redacted]/[redacted]/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 438, in parse_block_mapping_key
raise ParserError("while parsing a block mapping", self.marks[-1],
yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block mapping
in "/home/[redacted]/[redacted]/config.yaml", line 8, column 1
expected , but found ''
in "/home/[redacted]/[redacted]/config.yaml", line 23, column 6
task: Failed to run task "configure": exit status 1

Line 8 in my config is:
bootstrap_timezone: "America/New_York"

Line 6 is:
- name: "[redacted]"

Can you share your full config.yaml and mask the secrets?

My first guess is you have it malformed or incorrectly configured.

My apologies for my late response... I have attached the file. I am seeing a parsing error on the line below bootstrap_node_inventory - a block sequence may not be used as an implicit key map.
config.yaml.redacted.txt

bootstrap_node_inventory: [1]
  - name: "redacted"
    address: "redacted"
    controller: true
    ssh_user: "redacted"

is not valid YAML, it should look like this:

bootstrap_node_inventory:
  - name: "redacted"
    address: "redacted"
    controller: true
    ssh_user: "redacted"

thank you... I am not sure how I got that in the config.. but removing has resolved!
