Error: found unexpected type for label '<label>' (should be array of config options)

Description:

I suspect that I'm just getting the labeler syntax wrong, but unfortunately I can't get it to work. Some assistance would be appreciated.

I'm getting the same error message as #716

Expected behavior:

Labels are added. Or at least, CI doesn't fail.

Actual behavior:

Error: found unexpected type for label 'javascript' (should be array of config options)

Hello @coilysiren,
Thank you for creating this issue. We will investigate it and provide feedback as soon as we have some updates.

It looks like this might be the issue?

#712 (comment)

Unfortunately I was expecting the labeler run inside of a PR branch to actually use the configuration from that PR branch! Probably a naive assumption on my part.

After merging I'm getting a new error:

Error: Error: found unexpected type for label '0' (should be array of config options)
