YAML mapping values are not allowed in this context

Question

I am trying to configure a YAML file in this format:

jobs:  - name: A    - schedule: "0 0/5 * 1/1 * ? *"    - type: mongodb.cluster     - config:        - host: mongodb://localhost:27017/admin?replicaSet=rs        - minSecondaries: 2        - minOplogHours: 100        - maxSecondaryDelay: 120  - name: B    - schedule: "0 0/5 * 1/1 * ? *"    - type: mongodb.cluster     - config:        - host: mongodb://localhost:27017/admin?replicaSet=rs        - minSecondaries: 2        - minOplogHours: 100        - maxSecondaryDelay: 120 

The idea is that I can read the contents inside the job element, and have a series of different job configs which can be parsed.

however, yamllint.com tells me that this is illegal YAML due to mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 2 where line 2 is the jobs: line.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This is valid YAML:

jobs:  - name: A    schedule: "0 0/5 * 1/1 * ? *"    type: mongodb.cluster    config:      host: mongodb://localhost:27017/admin?replicaSet=rs      minSecondaries: 2      minOplogHours: 100      maxSecondaryDelay: 120  - name: B    schedule: "0 0/5 * 1/1 * ? *"    type: mongodb.cluster    config:      host: mongodb://localhost:27017/admin?replicaSet=rs      minSecondaries: 2      minOplogHours: 100      maxSecondaryDelay: 120 

Note, that every '-' starts new element in the sequence. Also, indentation of keys in the map should be exactly same.
