Hello Mates!
I’m new to Algo network. I started setting up Algo relay and the indexer two different Ubuntu nodes.
My relay seems to be successful. On the other now I have downloaded indexer binaries from github and while testing, I’m seeing following error. PLease help me.
$ ./algorand-indexer daemon -h
Invalid configuration: While parsing config: yaml: control characters are not allowed
Cheers,
Sreek
This issue is due to a collision between the configuration file name and the executable name.
Both were called algorand-indexer until commit https://github.com/algorand/indexer/commit/0a58e9a78ba7684c7f4cfb4fe7cb24b3d4622d9b (that is not merged to the branch master yet).
You will encounter this issue if you run algorand-indexer as:
./algorand-indexer -h
(This command will try to read the executable algorand-indexer as a configuration file.
See https://github.com/algorand/indexer/blob/a30878e3669310c30a2b916fb41511516b906c9a/README.md#configuration-file.)
The PR https://github.com/algorand/indexer/pull/229 fixes the issue but is not yet merged into master.
In the meantime, you can do the following to avoid the issue:
algorand-indexer to the $PATH and run algorand-indexer from a different folder oralgorand-indexer to something else ordevelop branch of the Algorand index (not recommended).Thanks @aojjazz for debugging this issue on Discord!
Note, you may also see the following error instead:
./algorand-indexer -h
Invalid configuration: While parsing config: yaml: invalid trailing UTF-8 octet
This is due to the same issue.
