Rails 3 - '无法解析 Yaml'

Question

I don't know what I did wrong. I try to run 'rails c,' but it just gives me an error. It was working 10 minutes ago. :\

Answer 1

Try adding this at the beginning of config/boot.rb

require 'yaml'
YAML::ENGINE.yamler= 'syck'

Answer 2

Just for the record, YAML doesn't accept tabs as indentation, they must be spaces. Changing tabs to spaces solved it for me ^^

Answer 3

The stack dump mentions database_configuration, so I'd start with your database.yml file.

    from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/application/configuration.rb:88:in `database_configuration'

Answer 4

"Couldn't parse Yaml" Go to your project and see near the project name there is a. sign.open it and see in which file conflict occurred,right click that file.select Replace with then Latest from Repository.Do this for all the files u changed code.then run the server it will work.

Answer 5

I issued this problem with an unquoted * in one of my YAML file.

fr:
  simple_form:
    yes: Oui
    no:  Non

    required:
      text: required
      mark: "*"

Hope it will help. :)
