'yaml.parser.ParserError:expected'<document start>',但找到'<block mapping start>''是什么意思？

Question

我有以下YAML文件:

[mysqld]
user: "mysql"
pid-file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
skip-external-locking
old_passwords: 1
skip-bdb
skip-innodb
create_key: yes
needs_agent: no
knows_oop: True
likes_emacs: TRUE
women:
    - Mary Smith
    - Susan Williams

和以下Python代码:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import yaml


with open("config.yml") as f:
    sample_config = f.read()

print(yaml.load(sample_config))

但它给了我:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/moose/Desktop/bla.py", line 9, in <module>
    print(yaml.load(sample_config))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 71, in load
    return loader.get_single_data()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 37, in get_single_data
    node = self.get_single_node()

    if not self.check_event(StreamEndEvent):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 174, in parse_document_start
    self.peek_token().start_mark)
yaml.parser.ParserError: expected '<document start>', but found '<block mapping start>'
  in "<string>", line 2, column 1:
    user: "mysql"

我不知道是什么

expected '<document start>', but found '<block mapping start>'

手段以及如何解决它.什么是<document start>什么,什么是什么<block mapping start>？

您的文件无效YAML.它看起来像是YAML和INI文件的混合.

• 你不能像[mysql]YAML 那样定义块.如果要定义相关属性的集合,请使用带有嵌套键的列表:

  - service:
      name: mysql
      type: database
      port: 3306
  - service:
      name: ssh
      type: remote access
      port: 22
  

• 你不能有像这样的话skip-external-locking.每个属性都需要一个值.请skip-external-locking: true改用.

这是您修复语法错误的文档版本.我用YAMLLint检查了这个,YAMLLint是一个验证YAML的方便工具.

name: mysqld
user: mysql
pid-file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
skip-external-locking: true
old_passwords: 1
skip-bdb: true
skip-innodb: true
create_key: yes
needs_agent: no
knows_oop: True
likes_emacs: TRUE
