I feel really dumb but I just can't get the following to work in my yml file:

# configuration for "master" branch
# build in Release mode and deploy to Azure
-
  branches:
    only:
      - master

  configuration: Release
  deploy:
    provider: AzureCS
    ...

# configuration for all branches starting from "dev-"
# build in Debug mode and deploy locally for testing
-
  branches:
    only:
      - /dev-.*/

  configuration: Debug
  deploy:
    provider: Local
    ...

# "fall back" configuration for all other branches
# no "branches" section defined
# do not deploy at all
-
  configuration: Debug

I copied it directly out of the documentation and its failing the linter in Atom as well as online parsers.

Is there something im missing???

   Well, I've just removed ... from that sample and it passes validation:

   # configuration for "master" branch 
   # build in Release mode and deploy to Azure 
   - 
     branches: 
       only: 
         - master
   
     configuration: Release 
     deploy: 
       provider: AzureCS 
   
   # configuration for all branches starting from "dev-" 
   # build in Debug mode and deploy locally for testing 
   - 
     branches: 
       only: 
         - /dev-.*/
   
     configuration: Debug 
     deploy: 
       provider: Local 
   
   # "fall back" configuration for all other branches 
   # no "branches" section defined 
   # do not deploy at all 
   - 
     configuration: Debug

   Thanks! I tried putting that in my yml and I am still getting parsing errors from being inside my actual file.

   version: 1.5.{build}

   # configuration for "master" branch
   # build in Release mode and deploy to Azure
   -
     branches:
       only:
         - master

     configuration: Release
     deploy:
       provider: AzureCS

   # configuration for all branches starting from "dev-"
   # build in Debug mode and deploy locally for testing
   -
     branches:
       only:
         - /dev-.*/

     configuration: Debug
     deploy:
       provider: Local

   # "fall back" configuration for all other branches
   # no "branches" section defined
   # do not deploy at all
   -
     configuration: Debug

   I'm sure its just cause I suck at yml but I dont understand why this isnt working.

   Oh... I think I get it now... does everything have to now be inside of that list item since we now have a list?

   Yes, topmost element must be either a list of hash.

   Also, you can validate yml here: https://ci.appveyor.com/tools/validate-yaml
