Using restclient for streaming multipart uploads

Anthony Rowlands <draftomatic@...>
 

Hello RestClient list,

I am trying to use the RestClient library to do a multipart upload from a StringIO, not from a file. After scouring the code, it seems that this is not possible. It should be something like this (although this example is obviously wrong):

response = RestClient.post(url, :payload => {
        :multipart => true,
        :content_type => 'multipart/form-data',
        :source => myStringIO
      }, :headers => {
          :cookies => {
            'JSESSIONID' => @sessionid
          }
        }
      )

In payload.rb, in Multipart.build_stream, v is the StringIO I passed to RestClient.post, and it leads to a call to create_file_field (StringIO seems to respond to :path even though this isn't documented in the rubydocs), but StringIO.path is always nil for me, which is causing problems:

Error: #<TypeError: can't convert nil into String>
C:/PROGRA~2/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/Light Stanza/lib/restclient/payload.rb:202:in `basename'
C:/PROGRA~2/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/Light Stanza/lib/restclient/payload.rb:202:in `create_file_field'
C:/PROGRA~2/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/Light Stanza/lib/restclient/payload.rb:179:in `build_stream'

Can anyone help me with this? Is it possible to do a streaming multipart post from a StringIO?

Thanks,
Anthony R

require "logger"
RestClient.log = Logger.new(STDOUT)

That should get you most of the way there. There's also an environment
variable you can use (maybe RESTCLIENT_LOG?) which does the same thing.

Hope that helps!

Hello all,

I'm building a Ruby client for our very new, very alpha alpha API (at developer.urtak.com) and would like to attack it with BDD.

Since I know I'll be using REST Client as my HTTP client, I was looking for some resources on using it in my specs as well.

I'm debating making actual calls against the API or stubbing them out with something like FakeWeb. Advice?

Kunal

I never used FakeWeb but I used webmock and found it better than directly using the API directly since it better describes the contract the tests are supposed to check, see
for example

In case anyone wants to know how this turned out, thanks to Archiloque's help, I got it working with:

def get_collection(path)
#RestClient.log = 'stdout'
  response = RestClient::Request.new(:method => :get, :url => @my_url + "/" + path.to_s, :user => @my_user, :password => @my_pass, :headers => { :accept => :json, :content_type => :json }).execute
  results = JSON.parse(response.to_str)
end

(In way of background, I am learning ruby for this project). I guess the issue is I don't understand what "Request.execute" is, or how to actually call it? I tried plugging it in as replacement for RestClient.get but didn't work (error follows below the example). IE:

def get_collection(path)
    response = Request.execute(:method => :get, :url => @my_url, :login => @my_user, :password => @my_pass, :headers => { :accept => :json, :content_type => :json })

error:

in `get_collection': uninitialized constant Request (NameError)

That still leaves the path (including query string) as unhandled, but I figure one step at a time.
