Docker-Compose file has yaml.scanner.ScannerError

Question

compose.yml file, which looks like this:

version: \'2\'
services:
  discovery-microservice:
    build: discovery-microservice
      context: /discov         


        

Answer 1

I encountered a similar issue today, a syntax error in the docker-compose.yml file that caused the same error.

version: '2'
services:
// Add your services here
  discovery-microservice:
    build: discovery-microservice
      context: ./discovery-microservice/target/docker
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
  ports:
   - "8761:8761"

Removing this line // Add your services here fixed my issue

version: '2'
services:
  discovery-microservice:
    build:
      context: ./discovery-microservice/target/docker
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
     - "8761:8761"

I hope this helps someone with a similar issue.
