Error Parsing, TAML to jSON

KashifAhsan

Hello

I encountered below error:-

kashif@lfs258:~$ kubectl apply -f rbac-kdd.yaml
error: error parsing rbac-kdd.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 5: mapping values are not allowed in this context

Would someone please guide. Thanks.

regards

The error indicates that the YAML file is not properly formatted. Whitespacing is very important in the formatting of YAML.
Please download the file again following the instruction in step 8:

wget https://tinyurl.com/yb4xturm -O rbac-kdd.yaml

Second time it seems that a new rbac-kdd.yaml did not get created, it downloaded to the yb4xturm.1 instead. Try renaming this file to the rbac-kdd.yaml and try to run the create again.
