Hi, I''m having a problem loading a sample data with simple rake command. rake db:fixtures:load When I run the above command,I get the following error $rake db:fixtures:load (in /home/raghu/www/photos) rake aborted! a YAML error occurred parsing /home/raghu/www/photos/test/fixtures/photos.yml. Please note that YAML must be consistently indented using spaces. Tabs are not allowed. Please have a look at http://www.yaml.org/faq.html The exact error was: ArgumentError: syntax error on line 14, col 11: ` filename: train.jpg'' (See full trace by running task with --trace) Here is the file that can be useful # Read about fixtures at http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/Fixtures.html one: filename: MyString thumbnail: MyString description: MyString two: filename: MyString thumbnail: MyString description: MyString photo_1: id:1 filename: train.jpg thumbnail: train_t.jpg description: My ride to work photo_2: id: 2 filename: lighthouse.jpg thumbnail: lighthouse_t.jpg description: I take dates here all the time photo_3: id: 3 filename: gargoyle.jpg thumbnail: gargoyle_t.jpg description: My paper weight photo_4: id: 4 filename: cat.jpg thumbnail: cat_t.jpg description: My pet photo_5: id: 5 filename: cappucino.jpg thumbnail: cappucino_t.jpg description: Life Juice photo_6: id: 6 filename: building.jpg thumbnail: building_t.jpg description: My office photo_7: id: 7 filename: bridge.jpg thumbnail: bridge_t.jpg description: Place I''d like to visit Any idea of what might went wrong?

Also try deleting it, retyping it, changing it to something that works then changing it back again etc etc Basically try things to get a handle on the problem.

Lasse is right that there should be space after id: in the line above. So having fixed that what was the result of my other suggestions? Deleting that line, retyping it, pasting in a line that you know works and so on. If the line in that position keeps giving an error whatever you do then it is probably the line above, I assumed Lasse''s suggestion would fix it.

I tried parsing the YAML as given by Raghu, and it worked after fixing the "id:1" > "id: 1" error. /Lasse 2010/3/27 Colin Law <clanlaw-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org>> On 27 March 2010 16:39, Raghu Maddali <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Colin Law wrote: > >> On 26 March 2010 20:39, Raghu Maddali <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote: > >>> a YAML error occurred parsing > >>> > >>> �description: MyString > >>> > >>> photo_1: > >>> �id:1 > >>> �filename: train.jpg > >> > >> Have you double checked there are no tabs on the line above? > >> Also try deleting it, retyping it, changing it to something that works > >> then changing it back again etc etc > >> Basically try things to get a handle on the problem. > >> > >> Colin > > > > Are you referring to the tab above photo_1/description...If you are > > talking about tabs b/w filename: train.jpg,I''m sure that there are no > > tabs b/w them except a single character space. > > There should be no tab characters anywhere in yaml files.
