Hi, I have tried to fix the below error but I’m unable to find any help.

Jekyll 4.3.2 Please append --trace to the build command for any additional information or backtrace.

/opt/hostedtoolcache/Ruby/3.2.2/x64/lib/ruby/3.2.0/psych/parser.rb:62:in `_native_parse’: (/home/runner/work/raphaellanz.github.io/raphaellanz.github.io/_config.yml): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 4 column 1 (Psych::SyntaxError)

line 4 column 1 | can’t see any error.
theme: jekyll-theme-chirpy

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Repo: raphaellanz.github.io

I can’t get to fix it.

Thanks for the help.

can you post a link to the repo?

Sure,

Thanks

hmm, there is a .nojekyll file in there, so I guess you are building via the action? are you getting this error locally? or from GH?

I would try removing some of the lines in the config file to try and troubleshoot it - I am not so sure line 4 is that line you have, it may skip commented lines or something.

comment out line 4 and see if it still says the same thing.

I think you either have some bad yaml in there somewhere or perhaps the thing that parses the yaml is not correct - if you search (Psych::SyntaxError) you’ll see an issue for ruby on rails where that was the issue - the parser need an update or something.

Thanks for the help… updating ruby

let you know if the updated fix the issue.

Thanks again
