Cant get fixtures to load

Rails
1

Hi,

I cant get yaml fixtures to load. The brief error is

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - some.

I have NO idea what this ‘some’ is.

The yaml file is simplicity itself.

hq:
id: 1
role_name: HeadQuarters

I have tried this with
a) One space after the colon following id and role_name
b) Indented perfectly according to JEdit.

Both give the same error. Any thoughts?

Regards,
Rajesh

The complete error message is below.

Make sure JEdit isn’t including tabs BEFORE id: and role_name:

I am quite sure there are no tabs before the id and the role_name. I
transferred it into Editplus and checked too. No question about
that…
