Question

I’ve created simple ROR app on Heroku’s server and I want to add product using RUBY’s script:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘rest_client’

RestClient.post ‘http://falling-ice-5948.herokuapp.com/products/new‘,
:title => ‘TESTTESTTEST’, :description => “MYTESTTESTTESTTEST”,
:image_url => “TESTTESTNULL.jpg”, :price => 4.50

There’s my page:

http://falling-ice-5948.herokuapp.com/products/new

When I run my script it gives me an error:

ruby postEasy.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/abstract_response.rb:48:in

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

You will need to nest the params in the RestClient.post method. You’re most likely looking for params[:product] in your action, but there won’t be any data for that. I tested on your heroku app, sorry for that, but this will work (as it does for me):

RestClient.post 'http://falling-ice-5948.herokuapp.com/products',
  :product => {
    :title => 'foobarbazfoobarbaz',
    :description => "foobarbazfoobarbaz description",
    :image_url => "foobarbazfoobarbaz.jpg",
    :price => 42.00
  }
