What I am missing? I am trying to use a rest service for with Active resource, I have the following:
class User < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "http://localhost:3000/"
self.element_name = "users"
self.format = :json
end
user = User.new(
:name => "Test",
:email => "test.user@domain.com")
p user
if user.save
puts "success: #{user.uuid}"
else
puts "error: #{user.errors.full_messages.to_sentence}"
end
And the following output for the user:
#<User:0x1011a2d20 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"name"=>"Test", "email"=>"test.user@domain.com"}>
and this error:
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-3.0.10/lib/active_resource/base.rb:1233:in `new': allocator undefined for Data (TypeError)

If I user curl for my rest service it would be like:
curl -v -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"test curl", "email":"test@gmail.com"}' http://localhost:3000/users
with the response:
{"email":"test@gmail.com","name":"test curl","admin":false,"uuid":"afb8c98b-562a-4603-bbe4-f8f0816cef0d","creation_limit":5}
There is a built-in type named Data
, whose purpose is rather mysterious. You appear to be bumping into it:
$ ruby -e 'Data.new'
-e:1:in `new': allocator undefined for Data (TypeError)
from -e:1
The question is, how did it get there? The last stack frame puts us here. So, it appears Data
wandered out of a call to find_or_create_resource_for
. The code branch here looks likely:
$ irb
>> class C
>> end
=> nil
>> C.const_get('Data')
=> Data
This leads me to suspect you have an attribute or similar floating around named :data
or "data"
, even though you don't mention one above. Do you? Particularly, it seems we have a JSON response with a sub-hash whose key is "data".
Here's a script that can trigger the error for crafted input, but not from the response you posted:
$ cat ./activeresource-oddity.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
gem 'activeresource', '3.0.10'
require 'active_resource'
class User < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "http://localhost:3000/"
self.element_name = "users"
self.format = :json
end
USER = User.new :name => "Test", :email => "test.user@domain.com"
def simulate_load_attributes_from_response(response_body)
puts "Loading #{response_body}.."
USER.load User.format.decode(response_body)
end
OK = '{"email":"test@gmail.com","name":"test curl","admin":false,"uuid":"afb8c98b-562a-4603-bbe4-f8f0816cef0d","creation_limit":5}'
BORKED = '{"data":{"email":"test@gmail.com","name":"test curl","admin":false,"uuid":"afb8c98b-562a-4603-bbe4-f8f0816cef0d","creation_limit":5}}'
simulate_load_attributes_from_response OK
simulate_load_attributes_from_response BORKED
produces..
$ ./activeresource-oddity.rb

If I were you, I would open /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-3.0.10/lib/active_resource/base.rb
, find load_attributes_from_response
on line 1320 and temporarily change
load(self.class.format.decode(response.body))
to
load(self.class.format.decode(response.body).tap { |decoded| puts "Decoded: #{decoded.inspect}" })
..and reproduce the error again to see what is really coming out of your json decoder.
