This is the line with the error:

> <https://github.com/txbits/TxBitsDeployer/blob/master/playbook/group_vars/staging_testnet#L5>

This is how the error looks like in the console:

`

fatal: [[longcat.staging-testnet-txbits.com](http://longcat.staging-testnet-txbits.com)] =\> Syntax Error while loading YAML script, /home/user/dev/TxBitsDeployer/playbook/group\_vars/staging\_testnet  
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 5, column 29

# for webservers

frontend\_fqdn: {{root\_domain}}  
^  
This one looks easy to fix. YAML thought it was looking for the start of a  
hash/dictionary and was confused to see a second “{”. Most likely this was  
meant to be an ansible template evaluation instead, so we have to give the  
parser a small hint that we wanted a string instead. The solution here is to  
just quote the entire value.

For instance, if the original line was:

app\_path: {{ base\_path }}/foo

It should be written as:

app\_path: “{{ base\_path }}/foo”

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with  
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they  
start a value. For instance:

with\_items:

- {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

with\_items:

- “{{ foo }}”

`

What I was trying to do is

`./initial_deploy.sh staging_testnet`

In order to test the pipeline.

Thanks in advance.
