ActiveRecord::Fixture ; Build a simple ruby on rails application

I read somewhere that it might be the tabbing problem but I've already removed all the tabs with spaces

1) Error: UserTest#test_a_user_should_enter_a_first_name: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError

2) Error: UserTest#test_a_user_should_enter_a_last_name: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError

3) Error: UserTest#test_a_user_should_enter_a_profile_name: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError

4) Error: UserTest#test_a_user_should_have_a_unique_profile_name: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError: ActiveRecord::Fixture::FormatError

You can just delete the rest of the items on the file, even though it's commented out. Regarding the installs.yml file, I would paste the items with the replacement.

I deleted the rest. But it still didn't work. And what install.yml file?? I don't have that file

I'm going to take a shot at this with a solution (hopefully). I believe he ran into a similar issue I ran into when the devise model was generated. When this occurred a fixture was generated in the installs.yml

one: {}
# column: value
#
two: {}
# column: value

Now replace it with this:

one:
  email: beta1@beta.com

two:
  email: beta2@beta.com

Often times looking at the first couple lines in the terminal will sometimes give you a clue at what's wrong.
