Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DBDiff/DBDiff/issues/65

Hello, here is my config file:

server1:
	user: root
	password:
	port: 3306
	host: localhost
server2:
	user: root
	password:
	port: 3306
	host: localhost
template: templates/simple-db-migrate.tmpl
type: schema
include: all
nocomments: true

And here is the cmd I'm trying to run
./dbdiff server1.database:server2.database-prod output=./sql/simple-schema.sql
When my config file contain tabulations, it doesn't work (yaml can't contain tabulations). When I remove them, I'm getting the error A server is required.
There is no password for now on the database, does I need to set one to use DBDiff?
Thank you for your reply.

Last three error messages:

✖ Unkown kind of resources
✖ A server is required
✖ Missing input

These error messages don't point to the problem. They tell you nothing. They are as helpful as "something went wrong".

@SteamWind are you sure your config file is named .dbdiff (including period?)

@aschkenasy
Ditto here. This command throws the same error: ./dbdiff server1.epos:server2.epos

Here's my .dbdiff (anonymized)

server1:
user: username1
password: password1
port: 3306
host: sql.myserver.com
server2:
user: username2
password: password2
port: 3306
host: 10.50.50.22
template: templates/simple-db-migrate.tmpl
type: schema
include: all
nocomments: true

It worked for me by using spaces instead of tabs for the intendation in the .dbdiff file.

I was receiving the error "A server is required."
My problem was in .dbdiff I changed "server1" and "server2" to be my actual server names.
After I changed them back, it worked fine.

have anyone fixed the problem? I tried different intendation and my server names are default ones (server1 and server2) and I still see this error
