Running into an odd issue. I’ve added the following `conn_params` section to my submit.yml.erb file:
```auto
conn_params:
- outport
- username
- password
- host
- port
```
However, now it won’t create the `connection.yml` file at all. Anyone run into this before?

I’m just impatient 🙄
The connection.yml is the last thing to appear, so if the after.sh doesn’t detect the running port, it doesn’t populate.
