How to set _config_mode

[prajgujarathi]

Describe the bug
I keep getting errors on valid YMAL files saying KeyError: 'No valid _config_mode is set' when trying to validate using instance_validator

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Go to folder digitalbuildings\tools
try validating the file using the validator using the command py .\toolkit.py --input file-path -v

Expected behavior
It errors out with error:
-py3.9.egg\validate\instance_parser.py", line 374, in _ValidateEntityContent
raise KeyError('No valid _config_mode is set')
KeyError: 'No valid _config_mode is set'

OS (please complete the following information):
windows

Hi @prajgujarathi can you please remove this part?

CONFIG_METADATA:
operation: EXPORT

What is the purpose of validating an exported config?

[prajgujarathi]

Hi, @charbull Just to test the validation setup. If I remove that part, I get another error:

while parsing a mapping
unexpected key not in schema 'description'
in "", line 2, column 1:
description: some device.
^ (line: 2)

Using a simple YMAL file:

FAN_4:
description: 'some device.'
uses:

• fan_run_command

[charbull]

Can you please start with an example from here:

[trav3711]

@charbull Isn't the config_metadata block required? @prajgujarathi try validating with:

CONFIG_METADATA:
operation: INITIALIZE

[trav3711]

@prajgujarathi Did that fix your issue?

[prajgujarathi]

Yes, it did. Thank you.

[trav3711]

Great. Closing issue.

[charbull]

fyi: the initialize is the default setup, it is not required.
