Solved Yaml configuration error help

Hello! happy new year!
I am working on a plugin and i load stuff from files.
So i have this file:

Code:

KitName: "&7&lBuilder"
KitGuiItemID: 2
CoolDownSeocnds: 1800
Cost: 70
KitDescription: "&7Builder Kit%s&7Given as example."
KitItems:
   - 2 10
   - 4 128
   - 5 256
   - 35 64
   - 275 1
   - 273 1
   - 274 1
   - 17 32
   - 45 64
PotionEffects:[]
Commands: []

and i get this error:

Code:

[16:39:16 ERROR]: Cannot load plugins\SimpleKits\Kits\ExampleBuilder.yml
org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException: while scanning a simple
key
in "<string>", line 16, column 1:
    PotionEffects:[]
    ^
could not found expected ':'
in "<string>", line 17, column 1:
    Commands: []
    ^

What have i done wrong?

 

Code:

PotionEffects:[]

Shouldn't there be a space between the colon and []?

If not then I may need to see the portion of your code.

it looks for me that yaml don't like empty arrays atleast I think that is ment with those brackets [] what if you make them like a string like Commands: '[]' does that removes the error or does it still persists?

when I look what happens to a ItemStack[] array in yaml they all seem to be defined as a serialized String list or something alike, so maybe the brackets are also illegal characters when not implied as String?

 

[] denotes a list in yaml.

{} denotes a dictionary or an object map.

neither is required to be a string. @InkzzzMC hit the nail on the head about the space needing to be there
