Hi everyone, I’m running into some error that “surprise” me: Trailing whitespaces in the

parameters.yml

cause:

ParserError: Invalid YAML or JSON file /workspaces/dodo-kedro/conf/base/data_processing.yml, unable to read line 161, position

I don’t recall this being the case ? Has it always been so ? Or could this be something introduced in 0.18.13 ? Thx in advance, Regards, M

so we’re just bubbling up the error from PyYAML parser

took me quite a while actually… 😅 I may recall this incorrectly, but the line & position were actually not where the problem (i.e trailing whitespace) was. (felt like a sql error “near …” )

remember whitespace may also be bad characters that are invisible like

‎

which one sometimes gets from copy and pasting

last PyYAML release is from a couple of months ago 🤔 so definitely not something that has changed recently

it used to be a lot worse before this went in https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/pull/1419/files

I configure my IDE to remove trailing whitespaces on save, it is really useful

Thanks everyone for the comments / suggestions 🙂 Cheers ! M
