ruby on rails - Do not deserialize ActiveRecord YAML.load-ing -

given yaml content similar to:

--- :template: :project_change :property: !ruby/activerecord:property   attributes:     id: '99'     name: lorem ipsum 1 dolorem - 101     status: available 

how make sure there no queries db when deserialising content?

any activerecord values can ignored, instead of being returned.

the (ugly) workaround found this:

yaml.load(yaml_content.gsub(/(!.+activerecord.+)/, ''))

which convert yaml above to:

--- :template: :project_change :property:    attributes:     id: '99'     name: lorem ipsum 1 dolorem - 101     status: available 

meaning activerecord entry becomes regular hash.

this ugly , if tell don't want activerecord classes returned.

using ruby 1.9/2, rails 3.2, recent versions of other gems.
