getting error for kitchen create in chef

As i am very new to chef i am not able to figure out following error :

$ kitchen create
-----> Starting Kitchen (v1.4.2)
>>>>>> ------Exception-------
>>>>>> Class: Kitchen::UserError
>>>>>> Message: Error parsing /home/ashishk/motd/.kitchen.yml as YAML.
Please run `kitchen diagnose --no-instances --loader' to help debug your issue.
>>>>>> ----------------------
>>>>>> Please see .kitchen/logs/kitchen.log for more details
>>>>>> Also try running `kitchen diagnose --all` for configuration

My .kitchen.yml file looks like :

$ cat .kitchen.yml
---
driver:
  name: vagrant
    provisioner:
#  name: policyfile_zero
  name: chef_zero
platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-14.04
#  - name: centos-7.1
driver:
      customize:
        memory: 256

suites:
  - name: default
        run_list:
                - recipe[motd::default]
    attributes:

I am following the doc [https://learn.chef.io/local-development/ubuntu/get-started-with-test-kitchen/][1]

Please help me what is wrong here !

Installed Vagrant now getting following error :

 VirtualBox is complaining that the installation is incomplete. Please
       run `VBoxManage --version` to see the error message which should contain
>>>>>> ------Exception-------
>>>>>> Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
>>>>>> Message: Failed to complete #create action: [Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
---- Begin output of vagrant up --no-provision --provider virtualbox ----
STDOUT:

reason is shown below:

WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
         Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
         headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Ps : I have Installed Virtual box on Windows 7 in that VM (ubuntu) I have chef workstation running "kitchen create" on it

I know this is an old thread but it just got me so I wanted to share my issue.

Instead of using spaces to indent, I did a tab and that's what caused my parsing YAML error.

Copying the below contents and replacing them with the existing kitchen.yml would resolve the problem:

driver:
  name: vagrant

provisioner:
  name: chef_zero

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-14.04
    driver:
      customize:
        memory: 256

suites:
  - name: default
    run_list:
      - recipe[motd_ubuntu::default]

I have really make progress on the setup and deployment of "Chefdk 0.9.0. I went back and cleaned up all of my Path variable in User, System, Powershell's $PROFILE. I have been working on the chefdk installation for Windows 7 & 10 for a while, I found some interesting points to note:

  1. If you have uninstalled and reinstalled chekdk, vagrant, and virtualbox, then you must clean up the User, System, $Powershell's $Profile paths, or you will spend hours troubleshoot ghost.

  2. White spaces does matter in the .kitchen.yml. This was the only problem I did not face until today. Thanks for the hint about the "driver:" above.

  3. Install Vagrant last after either Virtualbox or chefdk.

  4. Make sure that path for chefdk is in this order

      PATH="C:\opscode\chefdk\bin\;C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin
  5. Check your path for HOME, and CHEFDK_HOME.

After these few things everything should work fine.

 Windows 10 
 Chef Development Kit Version: 0.9.0 
 chef-client version: 12.5.1 
 berks version: 4.0.1
