I think I finally found what is giving me the "yaml error"

I’ve been getting a “error in log file unexpected error in log file yaml.md”
Think its this

accueil Yunohost

The yaml metadata file associated with logs is corrupted: ‘/var/log/yunohost/categories/operation/20190801-222709-app_install-reel2bits.yml

If I delete this file (downloading a copy of it before hand) would that stop the error?

Yes indeed you’re right !

We fixed the issue about new log files but wasn’t so brave to implement a migration for the old log files, so the issue should disappear “by itself” in the future because new logfile will be created for new action, and by default yunohost won’t load older files (though it’s possible, but by default it only log something like the 20 last operations)

Anyway … If you want to fix it, you can also open the file and put quotes around the asterisks to look like this :

YNH_APP_ARG_PASSWORD: '**********'

and that will fix it :wink:
