I’ve been googling for a while to find a solution to this, but can’t
seem to.
What’s happening is that after upgrading from rails 2.1 to rails 2.3,
my YAML started getting, for lack of a better word, ‘evil’ due to the
introduction of the SafeBuffer class.
I thought SafeBuffer was related to ERB implementation only but it
seems to have affected the output generated by .to_yaml, causing
clients that want to parse this yaml to choke (not knowing anything
about SafeBuffers). Grepping rails source for SafeBuffer I see nothing
that could affect the yaml class…so it seems the safebuffer
This is what an evil-ized safebuffered yaml looks like (just a piece
of it)
BAD/EVIL:
somevalue: !str
str: “yes”
“@_rails_html_safe”: false
GOOD (before safebuffers)
somevalue: yes
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
