Expected block end YAML error

Question

When pasting this YAML file into an online yaml parser, I got an expected block end error:

ADDATTEMPTING: \'Tentative d ajout \'
ATTEMPTINGTOGIVE: \'Tenter de do

This error also occurs if you use four-space instead of two-space indentation.

e.g., the following would throw the error:

fields:
    - metadata: {}
        name: colName
        nullable: true

whereas changing indentation to two-spaces would fix it:

fields:
  - metadata: {}
    name: colName
    nullable: true
