Great thanks!
So now I am at least calling the method - But when I try to add in the
params that I'm being sent I keep returning nil -
Failure/Error: @record.save_cf_data(result)
NoMethodError:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.delete
In the above case I create the hash as result
= {"final_outputs"=>["surname"=>["hagan"]]}
When I manually place in the params -
Failure/Error:
@record.save_cf_data({"final_outputs"=>["surname"=>["hagan"]]})
NoMethodError:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.first
So now as I go down this path, I would say that I am not feeding into the
method my params. How would it be best to do that?
I am right now just trying to use rspec with no additional params.
Thanks again!
-Thanks,
Tony Spore
