open your products.yml file and in that see there is no extra spaces before and after word all are in one line as one:

 title: MyString
description: MyText
image_url: MyString
price: 9.99

then it gives error "no space before title", it must be one:

title: MyString
description: MyText
image_url: MyString
price: 9.99
