[Locomotive-users] Odd deployment issue from Loco -> DreamHost

[Paul Welty]

I have a field that's serialized in my model with "serialize :field". This
works fine going back and forth to a hash in Locomotive in development.
'field' always comes out as a hash. So, in development, I get a YAML::dump
like this: !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess key1: "value1" key2: "value2"

But, in production on DreamHost, the deseralization ends up like this:

!ruby/object:YAML::Syck::DomainType domain: yaml.org,2002 type_id:
map:HashWithIndifferentAccess value: key1: "value1" key2: "value2"

Thus, of course, I can't use the hash methods. And Rails then generates
errors like "undefined method `include?' for
#<YAML::Syck::DomainType:0x407fb584>". And this, of course, breaks the whole
app.

I'm using Rails 1.1.6, and so is DreamHost.

I tried:
installing Ruby 1.8.5 on DreamHost
installing a custom rails  package there
freezing gems (including rails) into my app

None of these make the slightest difference.

I¹m guess this might be a DreamHost problem not a Locomotive problem, but
who knows.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on?
