400 error when adding new row

[tjwebb]

Sorry for blowing up your issue tracker guys. But I think resolving all these issue will go a long way towards making it easier (possible?) for others to contribute to the project.

I get 400 errors when I try to add a row to my table:

POST http://nbt.gis.io:3000/api/v1/tables/nbt_offices/records/ 400 (Bad Request)

The response from that request is actually this:

{
    id: 2,
    name: "nbt_offices",
    total_rows: 0,
    rows: [ ]
}

This from the logfile:

PL/Python function "update_timestamp": INSERT INTO "nbt_offices" DEFAULT VALUES RETURNING "cartodb_id"
[pool] Found a connection for cartodb_dev_user_2_db:development_cartodb_user_2 (2)
========== exception on records#create ==========
#<NoMethodError: undefined method `to_sym' for nil:NilClass>
=================================================
Completed 400 Bad Request in 114ms (Views: 0.5ms | Models: 0.0ms)

Strangley, though, adding a new column works just fine. Any idea how to fix this or what it means?

Sorry that was my fault -- I hadn't installed the varnish python module. But new problem: now when I add a row, the rails server locks up and I get no response at all. ??

Instead of starting all the processes separately, I started them using foreman. Now everything works

Closing as resolved :)
