Parsing Errors
Parsing errors occur when there are formatting errors. For example missing commas, extra quotes, and indenting. These usually occur off platform and happen when trying to merge a remote branch into your current local branch.
When a parsing error occurs, the Git Modal will open a Parsing Error screen and jump to the error message. There you can fix the error then merge your changes.

To understand the parsing error message, let’s break it down.
Failed to parse yaml for node nodes/SRC-CUSTOMER.yml. Description: Error in Node nodes/SRC-CUSTOMER.yml: bad indentation of a mapping entry (7:36)
This tells you the file the error occurred in, nodes/SRC-CUSTOMER.yml.
Description: Error in Node nodes/SRC-CUSTOMER.yml: bad indentation of a mapping entry (7:36)
This tells you the error, bad indentation, and the line and character. Around line 7 and column 36 there should be an error. The system is giving you the best estimate where the error is. The line and column is a starting point to find the error.
Common Parsing Errors
Bad indentation of mapping entry can occur because:
- Missing quotation marks.
- Mismatched quotation marks. Single versus double quotes.
- Incorrect indentation.
- Extra or missing commas.
Block mapping entry or implicit mapping pair can occur because:
- Missing colon.
