[19:44] <longdays> I have a cloud-config yaml file. It failed during instance initialization. Is there any way I can test the validity of that file from a bash shell after boot time?
[20:20] <natorious> something like http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ ?
[22:25] <harlowja> longdays u can just take http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/tools/validate-yaml.py to
[22:46] <longdays> I was looking to see if I can run the file not during init. the yaml is valid
[22:47] <longdays> hope that makes sense
[22:47] <longdays> I just want to debug locally without the long feedback loop of a reboot or respinup of a new machine
[22:54] <harlowja> longdays ya, just pass the file to validate-yaml
[23:25] <longdays> so installing the salt minion
[23:25] <longdays> CalledProcessError: Command '['apt-get', '--option', 'Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold', '--assume-yes', 'install', 'salt']' returned non-zero exit status 100

[23:27] <longdays> looking at that file
[23:27] <longdays> and https://github.com/number5/cloud-init/blob/8a5e01d7484307a846430ecfe18873627e4b18d1/cloudinit/distros/debian.py
[23:27] <longdays> looks like the -minion is getting stripped
[23:27] <longdays> still looking through the code though
[23:43] <longdays> looks like a dated version on the default ubuntu ami in ec2
[23:43] <longdays> 12.04
