Title

YamlParseError

Explanation

The suite's YAML could not be parsed at all — reported as validation data (valid: false), not a tool error, because "your YAML does not parse" is itself the validation answer the caller asked for.

Common causes

  • Inconsistent indentation — YAML is indentation-sensitive, and mixing tabs and spaces is a frequent trigger.
  • An unclosed quote, bracket, or flow-style ({...}/[...]) collection.
  • A duplicate key at the same mapping level.

Fixes

  • Run the file through a YAML linter or formatter to surface the exact parse position.
  • Check indentation consistency (spaces only, never tabs) throughout the file.
  • Inspect the lines around the reported position for an unmatched quote or bracket.
