Dear All, I am new the web2py and trying to use the relatively new RESTful API, as described at http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Restful-Web-Services
I am testing it with a very simple model : db.define_table('message', Field('sender', required=True), Field('recipient', required=True), Field('text', required=True)) And the doc provided function: @request.restful() def api(): response.view = 'generic.json' def GET(tablename,id): if not tablename=='message': raise HTTP(400) return dict(message = db.message(id)) return locals() When calling curl -v http://localhost:8000/RESTtest/default/api/message/1.json It generates an HTTP 500 error and the following ticket is logged 1 generic.json TypeError: <function <lambda> at 0xa9a72f0> is not JSON serializable + details Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/restricted.py", line 205, in restricted File "/Applications/web2py.app/Contents/Resources/applications/ RESTtest/views/generic.json", line 2, in <module> File "gluon/serializers.py", line 61, in json File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/__init__.py", line 270, in dumps File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/encoder.py", line 217, in encode File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/encoder.py", line 486, in _iterencode File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/encoder.py", line 460, in _iterencode_dict File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/encoder.py", line 460, in _iterencode_dict File "gluon/contrib/simplejson/encoder.py", line 496, in _iterencode File "gluon/serializers.py", line 37, in custom_json TypeError: <function <lambda> at 0xa9a72f0> is not JSON serializable Similar problem was reported here http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/837aa4b3df4c1a93/1bc6d35248d9f9e1?show_docid=1bc6d35248d9f9e1&pli=1 Is there an issue in generic.json ? Thanks for your help Seb
