Hello Wireviz Team,
I am faced with an issue which I am unable to diagnose and understand the reason. The error Exception: First item not found anywhere.

Thank you in advance!

@akikinho - Thank's for reporting this error, but please provide your version numbers as described in the Contribution Guidelines.

See also #207 that seems to report a similar error message.

I'm too far away from my PC to test myself, but you might try enclosing "WIRE SPLICE_CX" in double quotes to avoid possible problems with the bundle designator containing a space character.

Thank you @kvid. Here is the version number: wireviz 0.3.2 and it is Windows 64-bit operating system.

Please check the indentation of your YAML file. When you copy it into GH, you can display it as a code block using triple ``` back quote characters.

#```yaml
# The hash is only for tricking the parser.
# Please remove all # characters. 
# And put your YAML here. 
#```

Thank you! It works now.

@akikinho - I'm glad your problem got solved, but please explain what you changed to solve the problem, so others with similar problems might learn from your use case.

Hello @kvid, the indentation was not correct as per @martinrieder, so I corrected it in the YAML file. I find that Wireviz is indentation and format sensitive.
