ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError with YAML serialization

[Jason Ronallo]

All my tests pass. Then I add VCR with serialization to YAML, and all my tests pass. Then I rerun my tests, I get a bunch of ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError. Serializing to JSON instead and all my tests pass on playback as they should. Any idea what's going on here? What information would I need to figure out why this is happening?

It sounds like you've run into this issue:

https://github.com/vcr/vcr/issues/9

As I understand it, ActiveRecord treats any YAML file in the fixtures
directory as an ActiveRecord fixture. Thus, if a VCR cassette saved
in YAML format is saved there, it will think it's a AR fixture and
complain that it's not.

The simple solution is to change the `cassette_library_dir` so that
your VCR cassettes are saved in a different directory.

HTH,

Yes, placing the cassette directory outside of fixtures fixed the issue.  Thank you.
