[Rails] Re: Calling to_yaml on an array of ActiveRecord objects is producing TypeError: wrong argument type

I also run into the same error when running Spec tests that trigger
Observers, which trigger DelayedJobs.

The full stack trace:

`update'

I've been trying to find the root of this for a few days now and its
getting a little frustrating. I've tried to re-open the class and do the
following (because I noticed the error doesn't occur when I *clone* the
object and then call to_yaml).

module ActiveRecord
class Base

to_old_yaml = self.instance_method(:to_yaml)

define_method(:to_yaml) do
clone = self.clone
clone.id = self.id
oh_boy = to_old_yaml.bind(clone).call
#debugger
#testtest = 'test'
return oh_boy
end

end
end

...but this yields a similar error:

wrong argument type String (expected Data)
