Getting indentation error

on line 20 during Deployment creation. looks good to me though.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: webserver
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchlabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:alpine
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Copying directly, I get this error:

error: error validating "test.yaml": error validating data: 
ValidationError(Deployment.spec.selector): unknown field "matchlabels" in
io.k8s.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.LabelSelector;
if you choose to ignore these errors, turn validation off with
--validate=false

you need to capitalize the L in the match labels selector:

matchlabels -> matchLabels

After doing that it worked for me.

Yeah, I see that now. I wish it had said something about that instead of an indentation error.
Is that test.yaml file something you custom made ?

I copied and pasted the yaml you posted into a text file and called it test.yaml :+1:

You got a different error message than I did. did you pass the file to kubectl ?

Yup – all I did was: kubectl create -f test.yaml
