Lint leads to server error

[k06a]

Trying to validate:

travis lint ../.travis.yml

Getting:

server error (500: "Sorry, we experienced an error.\n\nrequest_id:5e9be46f-56c6-4471-a2a2-c169b02c560a\n")

Configuration:

ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin19]

[ArthurFlag]

Same problem with 1.8.11 and the previous version too.

Sorry, but I'm unable to reproduce the issue. If you are still experiencing this issue,

1. Point to the content of .travis.yml that you are trying to validate
2. Show the result of travis report immediately after the error message
3. Record the time (in UTC, please) when you experienced the error

Thanks.

@psafont Your content has a YAML syntax error. We should be handling this more cleanly and alert you. You probably meant something like:

language: c
os: linux
dist: xenial

I suspect @k06a and @arthurflageul have the same problem.

@BanzaiMan I'm still seeing this 500 server error on 1.9.0 when trying to lint the following minimal example. Remove the [] and it works. Not a YAML expert here, so I'm not sure if it's actually invalid syntax or not. (Some online validators say it's valid, others say it's not.)

    "include": {
