Cryptic error message issued during zwe start processing about community HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you. Indentation errors in zowe.yaml were the root cause of the errors I was seeing.

I hate yaml files; I wish zowe used some other type of file to establish its startup config. It is NOT user friendly...

from community.

I don't have the .yaml file you are using, but based on the message it seems that some of the sections is incorrectly indented compared to the other sections.

Specifically:

zowe:
    setup:
        dataset:
        security:

needs to be indented on the same level as dataset instead of being part of it e.g.

zowe:
    setup:
        dataset:
            security:
