(Rails): Files and Serialization outdated resource

[marvingay]

Given we use Ruby 3, Assignment #4 in the Files and Serialization lesson contains syntax both in the examples and exercise that are out of date with the current documentation for the open-uri gem, resulting in unexpected errors, more specifically, "No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen"

Should we add clarity surrounding this error and preserve the resource? Remove it? Find an alternative?

@marvingay It is mentioned the code examples are outdated but an updated resource would be good. From a quick search https://blog.kiprosh.com/serialization_in_ruby_on_rails_part_one/ looks proromising (part 1) because it covers marshalling as well.

@CouchofTomato Is the link you last mentioned still viable to replace in this lesson?

[CouchofTomato]

@thatblindgeye Yes, I think it's a pretty comprehensive resource.

I can work on this. Should I simply replace the outdated link assignment with the one Couchoftomato suggested?

@tomas-vidal Yeah it's a simple replacement. It's all yours.
