Simple proxy of find

[John Krueger]

I'm trying to proxy find:

class ApiCoalitionProxy < ActiveRestClient::ProxyBase
  get "/coalitions" do
    response = passthrough
    translate(response) do |body|
      result = body['result']
      result
    end
  end

  get "/coalitions/:id" do
    response = passthrough
    translate(response) do |body|
      result = body['result']
      result
    end
  end
end

class ApiCoalition < ActiveRestClient::Base
  proxy ApiCoalitionProxy
  base_url 'https://api-url/'

  get :all, '/coalitions'
  get :find, '/coalitions/:id'
end

The all method works just fine, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with my find method. No attempt to use it is successful.

[14] pry(main)> ApiCoalition.find(1).name
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition:/coalitions/1 - Trying to read from cache
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#find - Etag cached copy found with etag "939a57315a9a40365f1a850884cc55b2"
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#find - Requesting https://cleancities-stage.nrel.gov/api/v1/coalitions/1
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#find - Etag copy is the same as the server
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition:/coalitions/1 - Writing to cache
  ActiveRestClient (509.0ms) ApiCoalition#find
=> nil
[15] pry(main)> ApiCoalition.all.first.name
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition:/coalitions - Trying to read from cache
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#all - Etag cached copy found with etag "e56a1d871df7a6f54cb032fef3c46b6c"
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#all - Requesting https://cleancities-stage.nrel.gov/api/v1/coalitions
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition#all - Etag copy is the same as the server
  ActiveRestClient ApiCoalition:/coalitions - Writing to cache
  ActiveRestClient (622.9ms) ApiCoalition#all
=> "Clean Cities-Georgia"

Just doing ApiCoalition.first(1) proves that it's still hidden behind result.
What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps expanding the example in the README would benefit others that could run into this.

Have you tried reversing your get lines in the proxy? From memory each get registers a handler and the proxying stops with the first match. So this may work better:

class ApiCoalitionProxy < ActiveRestClient::ProxyBase
  get "/coalitions/:id" do
    # ...
  end

  get "/coalitions" do
    # ...
  end
end

Let me know if that resolves it (and if so I'll make it clearer in the README).

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Unfortunately, no luck. Here's what I tried:

class ApiCoalitionProxy < ActiveRestClient::ProxyBase
  get "/coalitions/:id" do
    response = passthrough
    translate(response) do |body|
      result = body['result']
      result
    end
  end

  get "/coalitions" do
    response = passthrough
    translate(response) do |body|
      result = body['result']
      result
    end
  end
end

class ApiCoalition < ActiveRestClient::Base
  proxy ApiCoalitionProxy
  base_url 'https://cleancities-stage.nrel.gov/api/v1/'

  get :all, '/coalitions'
  get :find, '/coalitions/:id'
end

Well, it looks like this is my fault. It was caching in my development environment. Once I turned that off, things started looking right!

LOL. No worries, glad you found the answer (I was wondering what on earth was going on and was going to build a test project to replicate it).
