Bamboo Specs bamboo.yaml does not like include

Question

bamboo.yaml: --- version: 2 !include 'PlanName/spec.yml' I have also tried moving 'spec.yml' to the same directory: --- version: 2 !include 'spec.yml' Both scenarios give me: Bamboo YAML import failed: Invalid format of the YAML file: while scanning a simple key in 'reader', ... !include 'PlanName/spec.yml' ^ could not find expected ':' in 'reader' ... 'PlanName/spec.yml' ^ (The carats didn't format properly, but the first one is under the exclamation point of "!include 'PlanName/spec.yml'", and the second carat is underneath the end of ".../spec.yml'") The documentation shows that what I am doing is the correct way to implement the '!include' statement in the 'bamboo.yaml' file: Using your main YAML file to include every other plan # bamboo.yaml --- !include 'planA.yaml' --- !include 'planB.yaml' # planA.yaml --- version: 2 # ... # planB.yaml --- version: 2 # ... Why isn't this working?

I've come across this bug that might explain why the !include statement is not working:

Looks like if you have permissions defined in your sub-files, it will break.

I'm having the same issue as well.

I want to have a separate file that contains a shared task in it, then include that file in a number of other bamboo.yml files.

It feels to me like the yaml stuff is half-baked- there are a ton of little issues like tasks not being properly configurable and what not.
