"Could not load configuration" about in-solidarity-bot HOT 7 CLOSED

Error: [@probot/octokit-plugin-config] Configuration could not be parsed from https://api.github.com/repos/NTAP/warpcore/contents/.github%2Fin-solidarity.yml (YAML is not an object)

It seems you are using an invalid config file in your github org.

Can read more about shared configs at https://probot.github.io/docs/best-practices/#store-configuration-in-the-repository

Any chance to get more diagnostics about where the YAML is broken? yamllint likes it.

The configuration file is a single line string with a file path. While it might be valid yaml, it is not a valid configuration file. If you are intending to extend a config file, see the link above on probot best practices for configuration.

Hm, thanks for the explanation. The weird thing is that this used to work. The "single line string with a file path" is a git symlink. And in the past, that caused the configuration file that was the destination of the symlink to be used.

Weird that that worked and then stopped. Would probably be somewhere upstream: https://github.com/probot/octokit-plugin-config/commits/main 🤔
