Hello.
Thank you for your kindness.

The following error occurs:

Same thing here. Any way to resolve?

[moridew]

An error occurs when the annotation is utf8. The utf8 annotation has been deleted and normalized.

[Opontios]

What exactly is the annotation?

[moridew]

You had to comment all .yaml files in English only. All yaml files in the subdirectory, including files in the config folder.

[dummylabs]

Any other language should work fine for comments, not just English. The important condition is to explicitly save file with UTF-8 encoding in your text editor. I've added a yaml file with UTF-8 comments to the automated tests, it works just fine with current version (0.6.0)

On top of that, starting from 0.6.1 (not yet released) files with encodings other than UTF-8 will not cause Watchman to crash, it will report error message to the log instead.
