Fixture::FormatError parsing YAML

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,
I’m trying to test restful_authentication plugin and am getting
errors with my install.
==>I’ve been through the YAML specification and actually copied
the fixture file into word looking for tabs instead of spaces. I’ve
played with various parts of the formatting, but I need a fresh pair
of eyes on this one.

  1. Error:
    test_the_truth(PostTest):
    Fixture::FormatError: a YAML error occurred parsing C:/Users/Wayne/
    Documents/Aptana Studio/blog/test/fixtures/fixtures.yml. Please note
    that YAML must be consistently indented using spaces. Tabs are not
    allowed. Please have a look at YAML Ain't Markup Language
    The exact error was:
    NameError: undefined local variable or method `options’ for
    main:Object

Here’s the related fixtures.yml

What line/file is this last bit happening on? I wonder if the YML
problem is a red herring.

I’m not sure how to answer your question? Is there a way I can re-run
the specific test with a --trace option to have something more to send
you? --Wayne [p.s. --this is just one of several YAML parsing errors
I’m getting. If it is a red herring…it’s a Whopper!

Unfortunately you’re using a combination of tools and platforms that I
don’t have any experience with.

Anybody else using Aptana on Windows who can help debug this?
