Error when parsing yaml file : found character '%' that cannot start any token

Question

I am trying to parse data from yaml file having some expressions similar to jinaj2 template syntax, the goal is to delete or add some items to the file.

AddCodesList.yaml

AddCodesList:
  body:
    list:
    {% for elt in customer %}
      - code: {{ elt.code }}
        name: {{ elt.name }}
        country: {{ elt.country }}
    {% endfor %}   
  result:
    json:
      responseCode: {{ responseCode }}
      responseMsg: {{ responseMsg }}
      responseData: {{ responseData }}

parseFile.py

import ruamel.yaml
from ruamel.yaml.util import load_yaml_guess_indent

data,indent,block_seq_indent=load_yaml_guess_indent(open('AddCodesList.yaml'), preserve_quotes=True)

#delete item
del data['body']['list']['code']
#add new item
data['parameters'].insert(2, 'ssl_password','xxxxxx')#create new file
ruamel.yaml.round_trip_dump(data, open('missingCode.yaml', 'w'), explicit_start=True)

I have the following error when executing the parseFile.py script:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "d:/workspace/TEST/manageItem.py", line 4, in <module>
        data, indent, block_seq_indent = load_yaml_guess_indent(open('AddCodesList.

        if self.check_token(ValueToken):

      in "<unicode string>", line 4, column 6:

             ^ (line: 4)

Answer 1

The problem was solved with the following structure:

AddCodesList:
  body:
    list:
    # {% for elt in customer %}
      - code: "{{ elt.code }}"
        name: "{{ elt.name }}"
        country: "{{ elt.country }}"
    # {% endfor %}
