Cannot expand variable in other variable on the top of line

[mitsuru793]

Thank you very much for this project!
I found a bug.

This yaml file not works.

error loading configuration: yaml: line 10: did not find expected key

I got the above error.

run:
  exec: echo {{.script}}

variables:
  root: $(echo $HOME/myproject/)
  script:  {{.root}}/index.php

However this is works.

run:
  exec: echo {{.script}}

variables:
  root: $(echo $HOME/myproject/)
  script:  index.php/{{.root}}  # swap

I'm restricted where expanding variable only after string.

Hey there, you're right. When you use it with quotes, it works:

variables:
  root: $(echo $HOME/myproject/)
  script:  "{{.root}}/index.php"

A little fix could be introduced in order to avoid the workarounds.

A little fix could be introduced in order to avoid the workarounds.

The main issue here is that the original file is not valid YAML file. The only way to fix this is to stop using YAML as a configuration format and use something custom.
