Ruby/Grape required parameters on a certain condition

For one of my methods the following isn't working. I pretty much copied everything straight out of the official documentation:

params do
requires :authenticationType, type: Array[String], values: ['LOCAL', 'AD']
given authenticationType: ->(val) { val == 'LOCAL' } do
  requires :admin, type: String, allow_blank: false, regexp: /^[\w\.\@-]{1,64}$/
  requires :password, type: String, allow_blank: false, regexp: /^[\w\.\@-]{1,64}$/
end
end

It is giving an error on the "given" line. Anyone know what is wrong. My goal: ONLY if 'authenticationType' == 'LOCAL' should the user provide 'admin' and 'password'

error:

Solution

  • The 'given' accepts proc only since grape version 0.17, implemented in merge request (MR) 1443. So you should either update, or if that's not feasible, try back-porting this MR to 0.16.2.

    Here's the README for your version.

    Also, in your example, authenticationType param is of type Array[String], so (at least in grape 0.17), the proc will receive a Hashie::Array.

    This means:

    ->(val) { val == 'LOCAL' }

    should be

    ->(val) { val.first == 'LOCAL' }
