K8s: Error in applying yaml file after adding env values - kubernetes

Question

The following yaml file works fine
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: something
spec:
replicas: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: something
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: something
spec:
volumes:
- name: shared-logs
emptyDir: {}
containers:
- name: something
image: docker.io/manuchadha25/something
volumeMounts:
- name: shared-logs
mountPath: /deploy/codingjediweb-1.0/logs/
env:
- name: DB_CASSANDRA_URI
value: cassandra://34.91.5.44
- name: DB_PASSWORD
value: something
- name: DB_KEYSPACE_NAME
value: something
- name: DB_USERNAME
value: something
- name: EMAIL_SERVER
value: something
- name: EMAIL_USER
value: something
- name: EMAIL_PASSWORD
value: something
- name: ALLOWED_NODES
value: 34.105.134.5
ports:
- containerPort: 9000
#- name: logging
# image: busybox
#volumeMounts:
# - name: shared-logs
# mountPath: /deploy/codingjediweb-1.0/logs/
#command: ['sh', '-c', "while true; do sleep 86400; done"]
But when I add the following two lines in env section, I get error
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: something
spec:
replicas: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: something

$ kubectl apply -f codingjediweb-nodes.yaml
Error from server (BadRequest): error when creating "codingjediweb-nodes.yaml": Deployment in version "v1" cannot be handled as a Deployment: v1.Deployment.Spec: v1.DeploymentSpec.Template: v1.PodTemplateSpec.Spec: v1.PodSpec.Containers: []v1.Container: v1.Container.Env: []v1.EnvVar: v1.EnvVar.Value: ReadString: expects " or n, but found 9, error found in #10 byte of ...|,"value":9042},{"nam|..., bigger context ...|.1.85.10"},{"name":"DB_CASSANDRA_PORT","value":9042},{"name":"DB_PASSWORD","value":"1GFGc1Q|...
The following website validates that the YAML is correct.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Could you please add 9042 in double qoutes “9042” and try this. I think it’s looking for string and getting numbers instead so please add the value in double quotes
