App.yml says line 10 has an unexpected error!

Installation
1

I have an error that pops up after trying to update and pull the plugins I added to my app.yml file and run the ./launcher rebuild app command but it prints out an error both when I try to update the yml file and also when I use a command to find which line the problem is on. The line I am speaking of is line 10 but I have not touched or changed anything on line 10 period. very odd or strange this is happening.

After running the following command: “cat -n containers/app.yml” it prints out the following below:

(): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 10 column 1 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8
YAML syntax error. Please check your containers/*.yml config files.

I am not sure what this is meant to tell me. I haven’t touched anything on line 10 ever which is very strange.

Maybe search for “validate yaml file online” and paste your - redacted - yml file in there?

Your UTF error implies to me that perhaps you have an unexpected character in your yml file - perhaps a smart quote.

is there a way to rebuild the app.yml file ?. When I go to the yaml file validation website it shows me up to 80+ errors in the file. Again I have not changed anything period.

Here’s what I get when I scan the app.yml file. from line 3 to 84 I get these errors.

Looks a bit like you’ve pasted or uploaded a yaml file with line numbers.

I suggest you paste your redacted yml file here, perhaps in a triple-backquotes section.

I guess i’m doing a reinstall.

As you see fit. In your position, I’d be interested to know what had happened, so I might know how it happened, so I might avoid it in future.
