Question

I’m trying to do a POST request from a ruby app and I’m getting the following error.

Here is the code:

 def action_reply(token,action_id,reply_text)
  require 'uri'
  require 'net/http'
  require 'net/https'

  @reply = { 'ACTION_ID' => action_id, 'text' => reply_text }.to_json
  #A token is required to do this post
  @token_url = 'https://example.com/reply?oauth_token=' + token
  uri = URI.parse(@token_url)
  response = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri,@reply)
end

I’m getting an error in the last step that says:

 NoMethodError (undefined method `map' for #<String:0x000000063798e8>)

Any idea why this is?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Because you’re passing a string to a method expecting a hash: remove the to_json call.

Unrelated, but is it necessary to have those instance variables be instance variables?
