Re: [go-cd] 1. Failed to parse pipeline testA; expected a hash of pipeline materials

Hiya Obiageli

It's a YAML format problem. When it talks about a "expecting a hash" in the error message, it's another word for expecting a dictionary/map of values (key/value - rather than a list). So in materials it expects something like the below with a name for the material rather than a list of materials, like documented at https://github.com/tomzo/gocd-yaml-config-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#pluggable

materials:
  third-party-material:
    scm: ThirdParty
    destination: source/ThirdParty
stages:
  - #blah

Separately, I am wondering if there's a reason you're trying to use "manually defined" Pluggable SCMs with your YAML config? It is possible to dynamically define pluggable SCMs which are a lot easier to manage in one place, e.g like in the example at https://github.com/TWChennai/gocd-git-path-material-plugin?tab=readme-ov-file#via-pipelines-as-code or in the b

This would look something like the below when using the git-path SCM plugin. If you have multiple pipelines with the same material you could extract it to a common YAML fragment for re-use of the values.

materials:
  third-party-material-dynamic:
    plugin_configuration:
      id: git-path
    options:
      url: https://github.com/path-to/shared-repo.git
      path: ./third-party-code
      username: username
    secure_options:
      password: 'encrypted_value'
    destination: source/ThirdParty
