overlay_path template_varibles and report_path for missing

[DaydreamHero]

I must be missing something, but I can't figure out what. I have two issues, and I can't seem to find anything in the Q&A of other people having the issues, so I don't know. I have the following my config.yml:

libraries:                                                               
  Movies:                                                                
    report_path: config/missing/movies.yml                               
    metadata_path:                                                       
    - file: config/movies.yml                                            
    - pmm: basic                                                         
    - pmm: imdb                                                          
    overlay_path:                                                        
    - remove_overlays: false                                             
    - pmm: ratings                                                       
        template_variables:                                             
          rating1: user                                                 
          rating1_image: rt_tomato                                      
          rating1_font: config/custom_fonts/adlib.ttf                   
          rating1_font_size: 63                                         
                                                                        
          rating2: critic                                               
          rating2_image: imdb                                           
          rating2_font: config/custom_fonts/impact.ttf                  
          rating2_font_size: 70                                         
                                                                        
          rating3: audience                                             
          rating3_image: tmdb                                           
          rating3_font: config/custom_fonts/metropolis-bold.otf         
          rating3_font_size: 70                                         
                                                                        
          horizontal_position: right                                    
    - pmm: ribbon                                                        
    operations:                                                          
      mass_user_rating_update: mdb_tomatoes                              
      mass_critic_rating_update: imdb                                    
      mass_audience_rating_update: tmdb                                  

When the overlay_path information is in there I receive the following error:
YAML Error: mapping values are not allowed here in "//config/config.yml", line 8, column 27
I can't figure out what it wants from me? I had to comment out the template_variables to keep PMM running, but how do I get them to work? [I feel like what I have basically matches the sample from https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/defaults/overlays.html (aside from the third font.]

The other issue, has to do with line 3 from the config. Am I supposed to create that YAML file, and if so can someone point me to what it should look like? I added this line at the same time as the template_variable stuff and obviously am not having the best of luck. Thanks in advance.

The error you have there typically indicates indentation problems in the config.yml.

If I paste what you have there into yamllint.com, it guides me to this change:

libraries:                                                               
  Movies:

    operations:
      mass_user_rating_update: mdb_tomatoes

      mass_audience_rating_update: tmdb

Note the indentation change on the template_variables section.

similarly, VS Code, which is YAML-aware, points to the error:

And is happy when I outdent that section:

[DaydreamHero]

I didn't realize YAML was so finnicky. I have coded in a number of languages, but never really dealt with YAML (or anything so particular). I fixed that in my script and it's processing now.
Any thoughts on the second part of my issue, or should this resolve that too? [Honestly more of a secondary issue, but would love to have a solution.]

[chazlarson]

YAML is a structured file format where indentation is significant. Similar to Python in that way, though it isn't a programming language, it's more akin to JSON, which also has syntactic rules like this.

The other issue, has to do with line 3 from the config

Line 3 is the report path, which I didn't think it complained about since it's going to create that file. Maybe it's complaining about the path on the way to the file?

That file should be created when written, though you may want to make sure that all the folders on the way exist.

If the error is instead referring to:

    - file: config/movies.yml                                            

Which I would expect an error about if it doesn't exist, yes, that's a file that you would create.

[DaydreamHero]

It doesn't complain about line 3 (report_path: config/missing/movies.yml) it just doesn't do anything with it. Perhaps I am misunderstanding its purpose (I was assuming that the list of missing collection movies would populate to there?).

[chazlarson]

If you have that function turned on, that's where the list would end up.

settings:
...
  show_filtered: false
  show_missing: true
  save_report: false
...

If that last isn't true, that file isn't written

[DaydreamHero]

I had just found that and came back in here to see if it was right ... I guess so. I'll switch it to true and hope for the best. Thank you.
