Hi all, I have a work-around for my problem, but there's clearly something I don't quite understand going on here and I'd like to learn.
I have a model that has a serialized field. In the unit test for that model I'm checking the field contents. In my fixture I have foo: items: "<%=[3,8].to_yaml%>" (thanks to Fred earlier for helping me get the fixtures loading without error - needed the quotes around the yaml) and in the test I have assert things(:foo).items == [3,8] and... the test fails. The problem is that things(:foo).items ends up being an array that has a single element, the string '3 - 8'. For longer arrays the string becomes '3 - 8 - 1 - 2 - 3', for example. I can get around this by explicitly stating the yaml string as manage_domains: "--- \n- 3\n- 8" which leads to the assertion being true... but... it's inelegant, and I don't understand why the workaround is even necessary. It would be a lot easier to use and understand if I could get the first version working. From a couple of tests (printing to stdout) I think .to_yaml should be putting in the new-lines, but it seems not to be in this case. Anyone care to enlighten me as to why the first version doesn't work, please? -Chris W --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
