[00:32] <Matt53> anyone able to help me with cloud-init write_files module? Keep running into `util.py[WARNING]: Failed loading yaml blob. Invalid format at line 147 column 1: "while scanning a simple key`
[00:33] <Matt53> my write_files module looks like this
[00:33] <Matt53> ```
[00:33] <Matt53> write_files:
[00:33] <Matt53>   - content: "this is a test"
[00:33] <Matt53>     path: /etc/chef/test1
[00:33] <Matt53> ```
[00:39] <minimal> what's on line 147 of the user-data file?
[00:41] <Matt53> so using the data sources from TF to create the user-data file, and 147 has a commented line on it...
[00:42] <Matt53> unless it just can't have comments?
[00:42] <minimal> communts are fine
[00:44] <Matt53> give me 3 min, just rebuilding now and have removed everything but the three write_file module lines
[00:44] <minimal> check the user-data stored in /var/lib/cloud/instance/
[00:51] <Matt53> okay just chucking those three lines in works
[00:51] <minimal> yeah I suspect there error is elsewhere
[00:52] <Matt53> Do you know how to add multiple lines via the contents? just trying to pass some certs onto a machine
[00:52] <Matt53> appreciate the help ofc
[00:52] <minimal> try again and have a look at the user-data stored in /var/lib/cloud/instance to try and find line 147 there
[00:53] <minimal> yeah, it's documented in the examples: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#write-files
[00:53] <minimal> perhaps you have a tab instead of spaces somewhere in the user data?
[01:01] <Matt53> yeah looking now at the user-data
[01:03] <Matt53> yeah figured it out
[01:03] <minimal> there is also "cloud-init schema -c user-data.yaml" to validate a file
[01:03] <Matt53> i have a variable in my comment that apparently still resolves
[01:04] <Matt53> and its a pem key, so variable in the comment still resolves and the rest of the pem key is no longer commented
[01:04] <Matt53> silly but ty
[01:04] <Matt53> hadn't come across the /var/lib/cloud/instance directory before (been using cloud-init for like all of 4 days) so very helpful ty ty

[01:40] <Matt53> minimal one more q for you if that's sweet? Trying to pass that same pem key as a var in the write_files module but it seems like the first line gets spaced properly, and the rest don't... Any way to pass a string with a newline in it and have it properly spaced?
[01:41] <Matt53> first line is like this vs last line
[01:41] <Matt53> `      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----`
[01:41] <Matt53> `-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----`
[01:43] <Matt53> i guess could just replace all the newlines with \n\t but that seems iffy lol
[01:50] <minimal> Matt53: on the same page, if you look at the CA Certificates section you'll see an example of a cert spaced equally
[01:50] <minimal> so just added the same number of spaces in front of each line
