Nested includes in .yml

[eddeT]

Hi!

I've been tinkering and found that I could not nest inclusion of yaml files.
I included home.yml in glance.yml, works fine. Then I wanted to split it so that I had the following files included in home.yml:

• rss.yml
• releases.yml
• ccw.yml.

When I run the command:
docker run --rm -v ./:/app/config/ glanceapp/glance config:print | less -N

I get the following input on the lines with the nesting (commented out the rest)
The line from line 20 is parsed from home.yml, notice lines 24, 27 and 30 not being expanded:

      2   background-color: 229 19 23
      3   contrast-multiplier: 1.2
      4   primary-color: 222 74 74
      5   positive-color: 96 44 68
      6   negative-color: 359 68 71
      7
      8 pages:
      9   #- name: home
     10   #  columns:
     11   #    - size: small
     12   #      widgets:
     13   #        !include: ccw.yml
     14   #    - size: full
     15   #      widgets:
     16   #        !include: rss.yml
     17   #    - size: small
     18   #      widgets:
     19   #        !include: releases.yml
     20   - name: home
     21     columns:
     22       - size: small
     23         widgets:
     24           !include: ccw.yml
     25       - size: full
     26         widgets:
     27           !include: rss.yml
     28       - size: small
     29         widgets:
     30           !include: releases.yml
     31
     32
     33   #!include: social.yml

Errors look like this:

2025/02/18 21:18:41 Config has errors: yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 24: cannot unmarshal !include: `ccw.yml` into []yaml.Node
  line 27: cannot unmarshal !include: `rss.yml` into []yaml.Node
  line 30: cannot unmarshal !include: `release...` into []yaml.Node

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?

All the best,

Hey, don't worry you're not doing anything wrong! Nested includes aren't supported currently. There was a bunch of complexity around getting includes + auto reloads working and I wanted to make sure that those were properly working before adding the additional complexity required to get nested includes working.

Awesome, thanks for explaining, really appreciate it!
