Putting serialized data into fixture

Rails
1

Hi,

I am very fresh to ruby on rails so maybe I am missing something very
obvious, but anyway. How do I put serialized data into fixture.

I have a class Board which is somewhat a very complex class. It occupies
more than one line when converted to yaml. Here is the example of what I
have been doing and what failed so far.

Board is false

one:
id: 1
board: |
<%= Board.new.to_yaml.gsub(/\n/,"\n ")

Board is false

one:
id: 1
board: |
<%= Board.new.to_yaml.gsub(/\n/,"\n ").gsub /$/, " " %>

For now I stick with manual converting but the serialized object is
about 100 lines and looks plain ugly. So maybe there is a way to put a
serialized object in fixture

I haven’t tried with yaml, but with xml, I do like this:

one:
id: 1
board: !str ‘<%= my_xml %>’
