envoy failing at runtime: Unable to convert YAML as JSON: github.com/ googleapis/kiosk/envoy/envoy.yaml

[joeblew99]

The ./envoy/COMPILE-PROTOS.sh works and i get a proto.pb in the envoy directory.
But when i try to run it with the latest envoy it fails.
Not sure whats going on....

make: *** [envoy-run] Error 1

Reproduce by adding this to the root Makefile:

envoy-install:
	# Envoy install global
	# https://www.getenvoy.io/
	# windows ?
	# macos : https://www.getenvoy.io/platforms/envoy/macos/
	brew tap tetratelabs/getenvoy
	brew install envoy
	envoy --version

envoy-compile:
	chmod +x ./envoy/COMPILE-PROTOS.sh
	./envoy/COMPILE-PROTOS.sh

envoy-run: envoy-compile
	envoy --config-yaml ./envoy/envoy-yaml

any solution for this?

Looks like you're passing a file path into the config-yaml parameter, which expects inline yaml config and not a file path. Try --config-path instead. See envoy --help.

   --config-yaml <string>
     Inline YAML configuration, merges with the contents of --config-path

   -c <string>,  --config-path <string>
     Path to configuration file
