The YAML that produced the error looks like a compose file, are you sure you are giving cagent the right yaml to process?

[mnejmantowicz]

The yaml comes directly from the examples: https://github.com/docker/cagent/blob/main/examples/basic_agent.yaml

I feel like I'm missing something.

[mnejmantowicz]

I agree but my YAML does not have any MYSQL code. I posted my YAML in its entirety.

[rumpl]

In your initial post you wrote cagent run writer.yaml, can you tell me what command you are running?

[mnejmantowicz]

This works on Linux AMD64. It's just a issue with Darwin.

OK! I Finally managed to reproduce it! I added a broken docker-compose.yml file in the same directory as the agent yaml file, for some reason our loader loads all the yml files. We'll fix it, thanks for being patient with me

[mnejmantowicz]

All good @rumpl . Love this project.

[mnejmantowicz]

Moved the yaml file to a separate directory by itself. Validated that it is working now.

[rumpl]

I created an issue in the repo of the yaml lib we use goccy/go-yaml#806
