No fixtures support

[Pickachu]

Any possibility of adding a support for auto serialization on fixtures?

By example:

Model:

# alien.rb
class Alien
    marshaled :meta
end

Fixture:

# alien.yml        
zim:
    name: Invader
    meta: {planet: => irk}    # Fails here, it serializes on yaml form, not Marshal

I could not find any workaround for this, since the rails yaml (1.0) does not support binary types.

What about Factory Girl or equivalent? That will do, but you'll add an external dependency, not a big deal.

No problem with extra dependencies.
The issue was regarding fixtures.

I'll migrate to factories very soon.
Thanks for the fast answer.
