Trying to create a Context in CircleCI via API. Reference document: https://circleci.com/docs/api/v2/#tag/Context
I have created a personal api token and encoded into base64 as per requirement, to use in basic auth command.
I am using curl command like below:
name: "Create Context"
command:
curl --request POST \
--url https://circleci.com/api/v2/context \
--header 'authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
--header 'content-type:' 'application/json' \
--data '{"name":"string","owner":{"id":"string","type":"organization"}}'
I am getting error like below:
Unable to parse YAML
mapping values are not allowed here
in 'string', line 23, column 36:
--header 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ...
I tried having double quotes around for escape character in that line but still same error. can you please suggest right way
CodePudding user response:
The multiline string value syntax in YAML is different. There is no backslash-escapes-newline logic there. It should go:
name: "Create Context"
command: >
curl --request POST
--url https://circleci.com/api/v2/context
--header 'authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
--header 'content-type:' 'application/json'
--data '{"name":"string","owner":{"id":"string","type":"organization"}}'
The end of the string is indicated by indentation, as YAML does.
Note that YAML parsing is not being done by CURL itself. You have a curl
command inside YAML, not the other way around. As for the surrounding piece of software that is parsing YAML, it's unclear from the question.
