problem loading initial-data.yml

[Luther Baker]

I have a Project entity:


package models;

@Entity
public class Project extends Model {

public String title;
public String subtitle;

public Project(String title, String subtitle) {
this.title = title;
this.subtitle = subtitle;
}
}

and I'm trying to create a few on startup:

@OnApplicationStart
public class Bootstrap extends Job<Bootstrap> {

public void doJob() {
if (Project.count() == 0) {
Fixtures.loadModels("initial-data.yml");
}
}

}


I mimic'd the data.yml found in the tutorial - (I don't know what the
value in parens is for):


"initial-data.yml"

Project(P1):
title:Project 1
subtitle:An application called Project 1.

Project(P2):
title:Project 2
subtitle:An application called Project 2.


but I get the folllowing error:


RuntimeException occured : Cannot load fixture initial-data.yml:
java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Map

If I change the yml file to the following, the error disappears but
the projects don't show up in my first page's query.


"initial-data.yml"

Project:
title:Project 1
subtitle:An application called Project 1.

Project:
title:Project 2
subtitle:An application called Project 2.


Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

That was it! In yml file, I needed to insert a space between the
"key:" and the actual value.

Thanks very much,
