post nested parametes

[luiGi]

Im trying to create a complex model, that recieves multiple nested
parameters.

If I do

Typhoeus::Request.post( "http://localhost:3002/v0/contacts", :params
=> { "contact" => {"first_name" => "lala"]}, :timeout => 200 )

everything works smoothly, but when I try to add a nested model

Typhoeus::Request.post( "http://localhost:3002/v0/contacts", :params
=> { "contact" => { "first_name" => "lala", "contact_attributes" =>
[{"type" => "Telephone", "category" => "home", "value" => "12345",
"public" => 1}]}}, :timeout => 200 )

My contacts service fails to create the contact with this error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `metadata' for #<String:0x9783c38>

It looks like the problem is with the way the service recieves the
nested params:

Parameters: {"contact"=>{"contact_attributes"=>["{\"type\"=>\"Telephone
\", \"category\"=>\"home\", \"value\"=>\"12345\", \"public\"=>1}"],
"first_name"=>"lala"}}

I tested my service to see if the error was there, but it accepts
parameters like the ones I send to typhoeus.

Any suggestions on how to get around this problem?

Thank you!!!

A stacktrace of the exception would be helpful in trouble-shooting your issue.

Luis,

One thing the strikes me as wrong in your request parameters is that you have the contact_attributes in an array.  Try removing the square brackets from the contact_attributes and just make it a regular hash.

ie.

Typhoeus::Request.post( "http://localhost:3002/v0/contacts", :params => { "contact" => { "first_name" => "lala", "contact_attributes" => {"type" => "Telephone", "category" => "home", "value" => "12345", "public" => 1}}}, :timeout => 200 )

Hi Bill!!!
How would you handle a has_many relationship with Typhoeus?
The params are presented in an array because a contact has_many
contact_attributes.
Thank you for looking into it.

Hey Nico,

there is an issue explaining your case: https://github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus/issues/201, especially https://github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus/issues/201#issuecomment-7050743. The problem is, that your params are difficult to urlencode.
What you receive in your app is somewhat correct. In order to get what you expect, you could try this solution: https://gist.github.com/3417977. I didn't test that.
