I changed the way the yaml file was written based on an example that I found.

see example
https://github.com/StevenElliottJr/ZenTasks/blob/master/conf/initial-dat
a.yml
I put in Dummy controllers.
I'm trying to test my models
I thought that I had to write my yaml differently. I'll probably delete these files.
The return type was chained.
Commented out all of the tests.
