rails, Cannot run sidekiq

Question

I have created sidekiq.yml file inside config folder:

---
:concurrency: 25
:pidfile: ./tmp/pids/sidekiq.pid
:logfile: ./log/sidekiq.log
:queues:
  -default

I have added foreman gem in my Rails project and created Procfile in my root folder:

web: bundle exec rails s
worker: sidekiq -C config/sidekiq.yml

When I run foreman in my command line it just does not want to start. Messages are:

C:\Users\lenovo\RubymineProjects\new-seeker-test>foreman start

11:41:40 system   | sending SIGKILL to web.1 at pid 8088
11:41:40 web.1    | exited with code 0

I think there is something on 11:41:40 worker.1 | undefined method 'each' for "-default":String

My ruby version is 2.1.5 Rails version is 4.2.0 Windows 7 x64

The queues list in your YAML file is invalid. You need a space after the dash.
