[Solved] Setting a script sequence

Configuration
1

I was able to run the script if configured in a different manner.
I read here:

But no mentioning when the script is in a file under packages directory.

Now I set a file with this content

script:
  pulse_gate:
    sequence:
      - service: switch.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.xxxx
        milliseconds: 600
      - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.xxxx

Assumed that switch.xxxx is a proper entity.

The check_config is not approving my intent, what’s wrong?
I tried different indenting, but I can’t figure why I get

Error loading /var/lib/hass/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block collection
  in "/var/lib/hass/packages/pulse_xxxx.yaml", line 4, column 7
expected <block end>, but found '?'
  in "/var/lib/hass/packages/pulse_xxxx.yaml", line 5, column 7

Try:

script:
  pulse_gate:
    sequence:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.xxxx
      - delay:
          milliseconds: 600
      - service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.xxxx

I missed to define the delay and some indentation. Whereas the previous yaml was just working flawlessly.
