I'm trying to set up a master/test/production branch based workflow where I deploy my application via ClickOnce using separate URLs for test & production. To do this, I've moved my after_build, artifacts, deploy, and notifications sections to a yml list per my interpretation of the docs. The error I'm receiving is:

Error parsing appveyor.yml: (Line: 31, Col: 1, Idx: 3063) - (Line: 31, Col: 2, Idx: 3064): While parsing a block mapping, did not find expected key.

My yml file looks like:

... the shared sections of my appveyor.yml file ...

#production
-
  branches:
    only:
        - production

      after_build:
        - ps: xcopy /i /s $env:project_name\bin\Debug publish\$env:appveyor_build_version
        ...

      artifacts:
        - path: publish
          name: clickonce

      deploy:
        - provider: AzureBlob
       ...
      notifications:
        - provider: Email
          subject: 'Build Production: {{status}}'
          ...
  # test
  -
    branches:
      only:
        - test
...

  # default, no deployment or notification
  -

   What worries me is "... the shared sections of my appveyor.yml file ...". There is no possibility right now to share some sections between different branch configurations. The root of appveyor.yml is either a list (multiple branch configs) or a mapping (single branch config).

   Thanks, that cleared it up. Docs may need a bit of a more detailed description here.
