Have figured it out now.
I'm using the restful decorator to expose some web services.
In the example given in the book it shows:
@request.restful()
def api():
response.view = 'generic.json'
def GET(tablename,id):
if not tablename=='person': raise HTTP(400)
return dict(person = db.person(id))
def POST(tablename,**fields):
if not tablename=='person': raise HTTP(400)
return db.person.validate_and_insert(**fields)
return locals()
Now the subtle error here is that if you name one of your variables "id" it
will cause errors when the decorator executes this action. It evidently
invokes the id function somehow. Leading to some very weird problems.
i.e.
def PUT(id, **vars):
logging.info(vars) <-- Vars would be None.
The fix was to do this instead:
def PUT(client_id, **vars):
logging.info(vars) <--- Vars would be the expected translated JSON.
Perhaps the book could be updated to reflect this.
Thanks for your help,
Matt
