YAML files inclusion failure

[dorkmatt]

Using v1.3.0 under OpenBSD 6.8 I'm unable to utilize the YAML !include functionality. I'm guessing this is my own error but haven't been able to debug why

rs-sfo02$ pip3.8 freeze | grep arouteserver

rs-sfo02$ arouteserver html -o test.html --cfg general-openbgpd.conf

Hi @dorkmatt, you're using the --cfg but instead it should be --general. The !include hack only works for the general route server policy file, not for the program configuration.

So, arouteserver html -o test.html --general general-openbgpd.conf should work. Could you confirm it when you have a chance? Thanks

[dorkmatt]

Yep, that works - thank you!
