subclassing NSRRemoteObject decodeRemoteValue

[hookercookerman]

why do I need to do this because I have a hash that I wish to decode

  def decodeRemoteValue(remoteObject, forRemoteKey:remoteKey, change:change)
    if remoteKey == "obj"
      self.obj = remoteObject
    else
      super(remoteObject, forRemoteKey:remoteKey, change:change)
    end
  end

Cannot define method decodeRemoteValue:forRemoteKey:change:' because no Objective-C stub was pre-compiled for typesv@:@@^c'. Make sure you properly link with the framework or library that defines this message.

Hm, looks like this is indeed a bug in RubyMotion. Something to do with the 'changes' boolean pointer as a method argument. All the other overrides seem to work.

Thanks for posting, I'll send a bug report to Laurent soon.

Btw: There's no need to type out super(remoteObject, forRemoteKey:remoteKey, change:change) - Ruby lets you just put super :)

[dingbat]

Removing the 'changes' boolean anyway, which should make this work again.

The method'll just look like

def decodeRemoteValue(remoteObject, forRemoteKey:remoteKey)
  ...
end

off topic from here; but how do you decode a hash; as at present it returns nil;

what I mean is

[{"id":"500970c2b36c973013000006","obj":{"id":"50096e4ab36c973013000004","type":"Rejection","rejection_note":"cos it","name":"beans","chore_id":"50096e3fb36c973013000001","creator_id":"50082653b36c978ad300025b","recipient_id":"5008265ab36c97758300003c"}]

obj is not an association its just a hash that is then represented into json;

[dingbat]

No decoding necessary, this works out of the box.

Maybe you forgot to include it in the remoteProperties override?

[hookercookerman]

class Activity < NSRRemoteObject
  attr_accessor :id, :obj, :created_at

  def remoteProperties
    super + ["id", "obj", "created_at"]
  end

end

is what I have; obj is decoded into nil cheers

Strange. Could you post the server response when you fetch? Like this:

2012-07-23 07:06:04.708 NSRails-Ruby[51862:fb03] [NSRails][IN] <=== Code 200;  (
        {
        author = test;
        content = test;
        "created_at" = "2012-07-22T21:22:06Z";
        id = 21;
        responses =         (
        );
        "updated_at" = "2012-07-22T21:22:06Z";
    })

[dingbat]

And unrelated: it's not recommended to define an id property. Use the remoteID property that you get from subclassing NSRRemoteObject.

[dingbat]

Could you get it to work?

[hookercookerman]

havent had a chance to check this over; but thanks for the heads up; will
let you know

cheers

Old - closing this. Everything described works fine on my machine.
