YAML syntax for After in documentation

[Fred Condo]

It looks like there is a mistake in the documentation for Before/After in YAML configuration files in http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/configuration

Because it is in an example, I see the same error in modules in the wild.

One of the examples has:

After: 'framework/routes#rootroutes', 'framework/routes#coreroutes’

This throws a syntax error in every YAML processor I’ve tried. Should it not be one of the following?

After: ['framework/routes#rootroutes', 'framework/routes#coreroutes’]

or

After:
  - 'framework/routes#rootroutes’
  - 'framework/routes#coreroutes’

I’m posting here to make sure I’m not missing something obvious before generating a PR. Thanks!

Have you got an example yml config file I could use to try and replicate the issue?

As far as I know "After: 'framework/routes#rootroutes', 'framework/routes#coreroutes’ "  is correct.

Could be worth checking to ensure you are using spaces in yml rather than tabs?

Cam,

https://gist.github.com/oddnoc/8045239 or the sample embedded in the documentation.

This fails the syntax checker in NetBeans, as well as this one: http://yamllint.com

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Fred, you are correct sir!

Checked with a few dev internally here at SilverStripe, agreed that it was incorrect and an update to the documentation has been made. 

See: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/commit/d1fe294d610d71f035211eb3b65f926840fd9d7c

Should show up on the docs site on the next update (the docs site pulls markdown from the framework docs folder).

Thanks and Merry Xmas!
