I am new to CircleCi and worked a lot on my config the last days.  
Now I changed my workflow, so that it should only run when my git commit is tagged with “build”. And if the “test” succeeds the “deploy” job should run.

```
workflows:
  version: 2
  build-and-deploy:
    jobs:
      - test:
        filters:
          tags:
            only: build
      - deploy:
        requires:
          - test

```

When I validate the config locally or run it only I get the following error:

> ERROR IN CONFIG FILE:  
> [#/workflows/build-and-deploy/jobs/1] 0 subschemas matched instead of one

Could anyone help me what I am missing here?

I think `filters:` and `requires:` need to be indented, unless that’s based on how you pasted them here.

Thanks for the help. That fixed it for me. Must have overlooked that, but strange that YAML validators accepted the config.
