Strange Key Behavior

[bgetting]

This one is kind of weird. I'm not sure what the issue is, other than when I try and access a method on a Mash, it responds strangely.

For example:

a = order.billing_address
=> #<Hashie::Mash address1="1234 Roslyn Road" address2="" city="Some Harbor" company="" country="United States" country_code="US" first_name="Joe" last_name="Public" latitude="42.14955" longitude="-86.349679" name="Joe Public" phone="555-555-1212" province="Michigan" province_code="MI" zip="49000"> 

a.city
=> "Some Harbor" 

a.zip
=> [[["address1", "1234 Roslyn Road"]], [["address2", ""]], [["city", "Some Harbor"]], [["company", ""]], [["country", "United States"]], [["first_name", "Joe"]], [["last_name", "Public"]], [["latitude", "42.14955"]], [["longitude", "-86.349679"]], [["phone", "555-555-1212"]], [["province", "Michigan"]], [["zip", "49000"]], [["name", "Joe Public"]], [["country_code", "US"]], [["province_code", "MI"]]]

As you can see, for some reason the zip attribute returns an array or everything in the Mash. Is this just a naming thing? Any ideas about what might be causing this?

Thanks for your help.

Yup, it's a name conflict with Enumerable#zip. You'll either have to rename to zipcode or use a[:zip] instead.

Nice. It's data coming in from an external source, so I can't rename. Thanks for verifying, I appreciate it.
