Cross referenced aliases unsupported ?

[Pwipwi]

Hi, the following doesn't work :

- &element1
  stuff: "Hey !"
  link: *element2 # this causes trouble

- &element2
  stuff: "Ho !"
  link: *element1

Is it normal, or is it just unsupported for now ? It would be nice to have it :)

In YAML, anchors (like &element2) should be defined before the corresponding aliases (like *element2) can be used.

To fix your example, you need to rewrite it in the form:

- &element1
  stuff: "Hey !"
  link:
    - &element2
      stuff: "Ho !"
      link: *element1
- *element2

Alternatively, you may consider changing the schema to something like:

elements:
- &element1
  stuff: "Hey !"
- &element2
  stuff: "Ho !"
links:
- from: *element1
  to: *element2
- from: *element2
  to: *element1
