  • line 12 in what?.. this is all the error shows – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:30
  • `couldn't parse YAML at line 12 column 9` means (to me) that something went wrong around line 12. Paste that in as well. – Makoto May 26 '12 at 02:33
  • Please paste in the full error stack. There is an error in one of your YAML files probably and we need to figure out which one. Are you using inherited resources? What's in your home#index definition? Lastly, if there is a YAML file in the full trace, make sure there's a blank space at the end of it. – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:34
  • ok full trace posted, thanks.. and yes using inherited resources – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:36
  • Also just FYI, it looks like the around your form is inside the <% end %> tag for the form, and that doesn't seem right. – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:36
  • Check in your locales/en.yaml file for any errors in syntax or spacing. – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:37
  • If the controller is home#index, how is resource being assigned -- if on this page you raise `resource`, do you get nil or do you get an actual object? – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:39
  • en.yml is posted above.. all thats in my home controller is class HomeController < ApplicationController def index @users = User.all end end – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:41
  • What page are you submitting this form for? Have you initialized `resource` somewhere? I just have a feeling there's something wrong with that, actually. That `resource` is not understood. Maybe it works on some pages but not on others. – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:43
  • i just deleted the "simple_form_for(resource..." part and the homepage loaded fine.. then i try to go to the signup page and same exact error "couldn't parse YAML at line 13 column 2" – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:45
  • seems to be something with devise or simpleform.. so weird – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:46
  • Can you try to, in the simple form, actually set the params for the form without using inherited resources? And see if the signup page works then? – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:49
  • that form is just the standard that devise provided me with when setting the app up.. have not modified it – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:51
  • in other words.. if i delete the entire _navigation file, the homepage which is just strict html loads fine.. but then i try to go to my /sigup page with a devise signup form... same YAML error. – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:52
  • And if you comment out the form on the signup page? – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 02:53
  • it loads.. its devise or simpleform causing the issue – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:55
  • attached now is the devise.en.yml – js111 May 26 '12 at 02:58
  • See if this helps at all: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4980877/rails-error-couldnt-parse-yaml – Steph Rose May 26 '12 at 03:06
  • saw that.. now it changes to another error (pasted above) which is similar but prints out my devise.en.yml file – js111 May 26 '12 at 03:12
  • FIXED IT... Just replaced all my yml files with versions from an earlier commit.. they must have had an error in there, HATE YAML... thanks for the help! – js111 May 26 '12 at 03:16

The "couldn't parse YAML" error suggests that there is an issue with the formatting of a YAML file.

In your case, there's a formatting error in your devise.en.yml:

not_saved:
  one: "1 error prohibited this %{resource} from being saved:"
  :"%{count} errors prohibited this %{resource} from being saved:"

Before the : on the last line, it is missing a key. Perhaps this was accidentally deleted somehow? In other devise translation files, I typically see the key "other".

not_saved:
  one: "1 error prohibited this %{resource} from being saved:"
  other: "%{count} errors prohibited this %{resource} from being saved:"

Replaced all YML files with previous versions.. if you have a problem like this there is probably and extra character or space buried in one of those files.. can be impossible to find, recommend replacing files if they have not been modified.

I had this error and it turned out to be a tab character that was present on a blank line. Invisible, but apparently caused the parser to choke.

To find it in vim I did a search for tab chars:
