Ruby Hash: can't convert String into Integer TypeError
hash, ruby, ruby-datamapper, sinatra
Solution
`JSON.parse(request.body.read)` gives you an array of hash. So the fix is `edit_id = data[0]["downloadID"]`. Write `p data` instead of `puts data`, you will see the `data` is an array of hash.
Problem
Currently getting a `Ruby Hash: can't convert String into Integer` error. The code fails on the edit_id line. I've tried many different solutions from similar questions already posted on SE, but unfortunately none of them have worked. Hash: ``` {"downloadID"=>115, "PageID"=>nil, "title"=>"hi", "dlLink"=>"http://www.a.com", "imgSrc"=>"http://www.a.com", "caption"=>"aaaa", "dlLive"=>nil, "createdAt"=>nil, "user_id"=>7} ``` Code: ``` #edit download put '/view1/downloadedit' do data = JSON.parse(request.body.read) puts data edit_id = data["downloadID"] puts edit_id @download = Download.get(:download_id => edit_id) puts data if @download.update(data) status 201 puts 'edit saved okay' else status 201 puts 'edit failed to SAVE' end end ```
