Hi, I''m trying to make a fixture for testing with a serialized column. In the YAML fixture I''m trying to fill the serialized column with the to_yaml function. But I keep getting the ''---'' separator, which I don''t want because it is only a ''partial'' yaml fill. According to the documentation to_yaml takes a hash of options, so something like .to_yaml( :Indent => 4, :Separator => ''''). I''ve tried this but the option hash has no effect, the default stay in place. Does anyone have an idea? Thank in advance, Bas CODE example (test_fixture.yml): <% hash_small = { "0"=>"1", "1"=>"2", "2"=>"3", "3"=>"4" } %> first: id: 1 name: Test Hash data: <%= hash_small.to_yaml( :Indent => 8, :Separator => '''') %> datetime: <%= datetime %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
