Ruby is expecting a Hash, but you forgot something (maybe a key name?)

Example:

# wrong
foo: { # Start of the new hash
  :bar # You're missing your key OR value
}

My setup

For reference only:

	RSpec.describe MyClass do
	let(:my_value) { 1 }
	let(:other_value) { 2 }

	it 'does a thing' do
	expect(my_value).to eq(other_value) # failure condition, something flakey though

	rescue RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError
	$ERROR_INFO.message << <<~MSG

	# frozen_string_literal: true

	# 1. Put this in your spec folder as spec/flakey_spec.rb
	# 2. Run it with `rspec spec/flakey_spec.rb`
	#
	# Assumptions:
	#
	# 1. You're using rails, rspec, factory_bot, faker
	# 2. You have a standard-ish User model (has create_at, updated_at, etc. integer ID primary key, etc)
	# 3. User has a last_name field/column/attribute

	# frozen_string_literal: true

	# I often find myself wanting to codify relationships/associations in a factory by default, so the
	# factory doesn't require myself or other engineers to retain the knowledge about the complex relationships
	# and define those relationships in every part of the test
	#
	# In this contrived example, our models are tenant-aware via a company_id FK on each model:
	# - Widget belongs_to a company
	# - User belongs to a company
	# - A widget has a creator; the creator of the widget and the widget itself must belong to the same company

	# app/models/user.rb
	#
	class User
	after_create :foo

	private

	def foo
	# ..something we don't do very often
	end

	For some reason, I couldn't get the annotate gem to remove the file annotations

	I used SublimeText w/ the following regex:

	Find: `(?s)# == Schema Information\n(.*?)\n((# :nodoc:\n)?class)`
	Replace: `class` (just adds back what I grabbed above)

	require 'base64'

	file = File.open('path/to/file.ext', 'rb') # Read the image as binary
	base64 = Base64.strict_encode64(file.read) # This gives you a string you can assign to a constant/variable

	tmpfile = Tempfile.new(Base64.strict_decode64(base64)) # Decode and create a temporary file

	Digest::MD5.file(tmpfile).base64digest # This is one way to create a checksum on the file
	File.size(tmpfile) # You can also get a file size

	# Lines marked with pry are just for testing in a rails console

	require 'rspec/mocks' # pry
	include RSpec::Mocks::ExampleMethods # pry

	# This bypasses the warning that the method isn't called inside of a test
	RSpec::Mocks.with_temporary_scope do # pry
	stub_const(
	'MyClass',
	instance_double(
