Common Issues

Parsing YAML

In some situations, the Ruby YAML parser does not print the correct line and column numbers.
Example:
ID_ABC_xy:
  text: ...
  status: valid
 tags: memory
  asil: ASIL_B

A space before tags is missing, but the following error message is printed:

... did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 1 column 1

This error message usually means you have too much or too less spaces somewhere in the YAML file.

This is a known issue, see https://github.com/ruby/psych/issues/190.
