Config.yml is claimed to be invalid when rerunning a job with SSH

I am setting up a Node.js project in CircleCI so that for every git push it would run a basic build-and-test routine and if the commit contains a release tag “v1.2.3” it would also publish the package to NPM registry. So far, I have come to this configuration:

defaults: &defaults
  docker:
    - image: circleci/node:lts
  working_directory: ~/repo

version: 2
jobs:
  build_and_test:
    <<: *defaults
    steps:
    - checkout
    - run:
        name: Login to private GitHub registry
        command: npm config set //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken $GITHUB_TOKEN
    - restore_cache:
        name: Restore yarn package cache
        keys:
          - yarn-packages-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
          # fallback to using the latest cache if no exact match is found
          - yarn-packages-
    - run:
        name: Installing modules
        command: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
    - save_cache:
        name: Save yarn package cache
        key: yarn-packages-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
        paths:
          - node_modules
    - run:
        name: Building project
        command: yarn run build
    - run:
        name: Lint & test
        command: yarn run test:full

    deploy:
      <<: *defaults
      steps:
        - checkout
        - run:
            name: Login to private GitHub registry
            command: npm config set //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken $GITHUB_TOKEN
        - restore_cache:
            name: Restore yarn package cache
            keys:
              - yarn-packages-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
              # fallback to using the latest cache if no exact match is found
              - yarn-packages-
        - run:
            name: Installing modules
            command: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
        - save_cache:
            name: Save yarn package cache
            key: yarn-packages-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
            paths:
              - node_modules
        - run:
            name: Building project
            command: yarn run build
        - run:
            name: Publishing
            command: npm publish

workflows:
  version: 2

  build_test_flow:
    jobs:
      - build_and_test

  build_test_publish_flow:
    jobs:
      - build_and_test:
          filters:
            branches:
              ignore: /.*/
            tags:
              only: /^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-.*\.[0-9]+)?/
      - deploy:
          requires:
            - build_and_test
          filters:
            tags:
              only: /^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(-.*\.[0-9]+)?/

It seems to be working just fine. However, if I choose to re-execute a build-and-test run with SSH tunnel for debugging, I am getting the following error message

Your config file has errors and may not run correctly:
jobs: build_and_test: extraneous key [deploy] is not permitted

Note that re-running without SSH does not show this error message. What could I have possibly missed? :pleading_face: Thanks!

Resolved: The issue have been caused by the deploy job configuration misaligned in to build_and_test job, i.e. it had one one indent step too much. :frowning:
