docker-compose reference YAML file with comments

My host files are in Windows 10 and file names contain spaces. For the life of me I can't figure out how to use quotes so that I could specify a mapping of:
"D:/my files" : /var

Please update documentation to specify how to handle spaces in file names

@djmarcus1 see the official documentation, use the long syntax form for volumes available with docker-compose v2.3 or later:
https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#long-syntax . This reference file was more for v1 docker-compose format I believe, I wrote it a while ago.

Thank you for the link.. but I'm still running into issues. I want to map "D:/MyFolder" (on my Windows machine) to "/MyFolder" in the Docker image.

docker-compose keeps complaining.

For the yml file below, this is the complaint I get:

ERROR: The Compose file '.\docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services.volumes: 'D:/MyFolder'

I appreciate any quick help.

My yml file is:

services:

    tseLogger:
        image: tselogger-2-3-0-6
        ports: [42949]
        command: -port 42949 -platform Production

    
    tseShard0:

@djmarcus1 that seems like its Docker for Windows related nonsense for sharing drives whether its Hyperv or WSL, see doc here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#shared-drives . I cant answer further as I dont use Windows as at all so ive never run into this issue.

Thank for your help... turns out the problem was the outer 'volumes:' had to be un-indented (start at the same column as 'services').

So basically, the error message provided no clue on how to remedy ..

This issue can be closed.
