Asp Forum - Cannot dump FeedNormalizer Feed objects using YAML

Shajith

Hi,
I'm downloading and parsing an RSS/Atom feed using open-uri and
feed-normalizer and trying to save the parsed feed as yaml.

Sample code below:

%w(rubygems open-uri feed-normalizer yaml).each {|lib| require lib}
YAML.dump(FeedNormalizer::FeedNormalizer.parse(open("http://waxy.org/links/index...)))

Gives:

TypeError: can't dump anonymous class Class

I read elsewhere on the list about why Class-es cannot be dumped, but
I have no clue why trying to dump a FeedNormalizer::Feed object causes
this error(Don't know where to look).

Has anyone done this sort of thing before? Is there any painless
workaround to this?

Thanks in advance!

Either use Marshal.dump instead, or set parser to nil on the feed object
before YAMLification:

feed = FeedNormalizer.parse(open("http://waxy.org/links/index...))
feed.parser = nil # [1]
YAML.dump(feed) # now it should work...

# [1] or maybe feed.parser = feed.parser.to_s if you don't
# want to lose meta info.

I intend to fix this in the next release so that pre-serialization
object tampering isn't required :)

Hope that helps.

Ah, so that's what I need to zero out. I need to use YAML because I
want to keep the data human-inspectable.

Much thanks, and looking forward to the next release.

I can't see what these arselifters marching to protest the killing of
Copts in Egypt has to do with aus.politics, alt.religion.islam or
soc.culture.israel either. Will you be pointing this out to the
original poster?

Thousands of new things happen every hour. Not all of them are
relevant to the newsgroups aus.politics, alt.religion.islam or
soc.culture.israel. Of course you neo-Nazis think everything that
registers in your buzzing and clicking little minds is relevant to
everyone. Thats just part of the megalomania.

BTW most people think Copts is a reality TV show from the USA.

Yes, I'm sure you and your islamonazi brethren would certainly LIKE
to decide what kind of news gets reported and where. It's just
unfortunate
like concepts like freedom of speech and freedom of the press keep
getting
in your way. SOB.

You pper to be confusing your religions again. We don't have an
IslamoNazi Brethren here, we do have the Exclusive Brethren though.

http://www.theexclusivebre...

I'm pretty sure they gave me a heap of brand new sleeping backs for
some refugees I looked after about 10 years ago. Most of the refugees
were Muslims too.
