Why is this Vim syntax command not working after running / ftplugin / yaml.vim?

I have the following line in after/ftplugin/yaml.vim 

syn match yamlBlockMappingKey /^\s*\zs.*\ze\s*:\%(\s\|$\)/

I also tried this:

execute 'syn match yamlBlockMappingKey /^\s*\zs.*\ze\s*:\%(\s\|$\)/'

The goal is to make vim properly allocated keys that contain spaces, for that matter on thread_stack . The problem is the command doesn't work when I open a new YAML file. I know what after/ftplugin/yaml.vim

is being used as I put the command there echom

and it appears in messages

. Also, if I just take a string and paste it into the command line and execute it, it works. Does anyone know what?

The scripts ftplugin

come before the syntax scripts, so the default YAML syntax clears up your extra definition. Place the extension instead after/syntax/yaml.vim

; after all, you are expanding syntax, not file type parameters.
