Hi, I ran this: php dbdiff server1.db1:server1.db2 and got an error about indentation with tabs

> php dbdiff server1.db1:server1.db2
✖ Unexpected error: A YAML file cannot contain tabs as indentation at line 27 (near "           ").

Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Yaml\Exception\ParseException: A YAML file cannot contain tabs as indentation at line 27 (near "                "). in C:\dbdiff\DBDiff\vendor\symfony\yaml\Parser.php:125

How can I fix this?

Try removing any tabs you might have in your .dbdiff file. If you can't see tabs, use an editor which allows you to see hidden characters like spaces (Atom is a good editor with the Toggle Invisibles option)
