I got a little ruby app going and I'm having trouble with one part. When I invoke the create view I use a form which passes some parameters in a post request. The only parameter I care about is the id field which I then use in the code to do something useful in the model. The problem begins when I try to take the newly created object that is formed from the CREATE request and immediately call a class method on it. The class method I have made for the object is called create and I would like to call that method from the initialize method. When I remove the call to the create method from the initialize method everything runs smoothly which demonstrates that I've got it mostly right.

POST Request Parameters:

{"utf8"=>"✓",
 "authenticity_token"=>"fCQw3Pegyv069jO0tZ4eY5buslyAM/r8yrG7phyoJqI=",
 "id"=>"20110806",
 "commit"=>"Create"}

Another guess...

You're passing to the Shopify API dates in the format yyyymmdd hh:mm, but the API documentation asks for dates in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm.

Also beware your date_format class variable will not be visible to your instance method (suggest making it a CONSTANT).


Is it this:

@file_path = REPORT_DIR+"/#{@date}-orders.txt"

You may be missing the @ sign for date.

You may also want to try using the methods provided to access noon and midnight.

@date.midnight
@date.midnight + 12.hours # or is it - 12.hours ?


I found the problem. Since the app is working within the framework of a shopify app the Reports controller needs an additional method to make sure the user is authenticated before requests can be made to the API. Very Shopify specific problem and I appreciate everyone for pitching in. Without your help I'd be nowhere, thanks for helping me reason.
