Hi Lejo,

Thanks for the suggestions.

After some further experimentation, we decided to abandon the YAML 
approach and just configure in Ruby.

Re: [Esp-users] YAML object creation strangeness







Hi Jason, 

I am one of the developers on the ESP project at Thoughtworks. 

There are a couple of reasons why the YAML transform method wont work 
correctly. 

- The model object is not found on the path. Make sure the class is 
available on the load path. 
- There is a syntax error in your YAML file. Be careful to use single 
spaces instead of tabs. 
- It is unable to find the node to correctly perform the transformation. 
The key you pass into parse() was not found in the file (usually due to 
use of tabs). 

Here is the correct format for yaml model description (3 dashes below are 
part of the description).. 
--- 
server1: 
- !ruby/object:Server 
  key1: value1 
  key2: value2 

One way to get the correct format for your object would be to populate 
your object and call the to_yaml method like so 
ldap_server = LDAPServer.new 
ldap_server.url = '\\server' 
ldap_sever.user = 'username' 
ldap_server.password = 'password' 
. 
. 
. 

puts ldap_server.to_yaml 


Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

[Esp-users] YAML object creation strangeness









This might be more of a YAML question but given that it's based on the 
sample, I figure I might as well as here first. 

In the example, ConfigReader is parsing a YAML file and using 
YAML::BasicNode.transform() to create Server objects? 

I'm trying to do the same thing to create my own LDAPServer objects but I 
end up with something else which looks to be some kind of YAML object 
instead. 

I was guessing that a line like this: 
- !ruby/object:LDAPServer 

in the YAML file would inform which object to transform to but I guessed 
wrong.  Do I need to do some further type mapping?  I didn't see this done 
in the example.
