@jchiar Interesting. I’m not seeing this error, and the only way I could replicate it was by messing up the YAML spacing. Once I did that, I see that exact error. I’ve learned that YAML can be picky about it’s spacing.
For YAML, the first sub-item is 2 spaces, then 2nd subitem is 4 spaces from the left margin.
There’s 3 things we can try:
1) Re-download the config.yaml from github. This time we can use wget to get an exact copy.
Save a copy of your existing config.yaml and run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drsprite/OpenSprinkler-Push-Notifications/master/config.yaml
from inside /home/pi
2) Run this on the command line. It should tell you which line and column is invalid.
python -c "import yaml; yaml.load( open('config.yaml', 'r'), Loader=yaml.Loader )"
For example, if there is an extra space in front of “port”, it’ll return expected <block end>, but found '<block mapping start>' in "config.yaml", line 3, column 4
3) Lastly, paste your config file into this site to validate it. http://www.yamllint.com/
(You should remove your API keys just in case they track those kinds of things).
It should tell you whether it’s OK or if it failed, and where it failed.
