Update Invoice in Windows edition

[theinventor]

It looks like the update functionality is just missing - is that right?

Would it be a lot of effort to add it?

You're right - it does not exist.

In theory it should be decently straight-forward to implement. Intuit requires that some fields are not set / provided for an Update. If you look at Windows::Customer#update you'll see this in action - some fields have to be niled out.

What I would do is:

• Take the skeleton from Windows::Customer#update and implement it in Invoice
• Attempt to perform the update in a Console - you'll get some errors. Probably along the lines of needing to nil out certain fields. Fix the errors and repeat until it works.

Not pretty, but its the iterative process I had to do for the Customer#update.

During development its very helpful to be running an HTTP proxy so you can capture all of the traffic - helpful to grab the XML to implement in the spec as well. I use Charles Proxy:

http://www.charlesproxy.com/

But there are free / open source applications as well.

Forgot to include: to have the library actually use your HTTP proxy you configure it like so:

options = {
  :site                 => "https://oauth.intuit.com",
  :request_token_path   => "/oauth/v1/get_request_token",
  :authorize_path       => "/oauth/v1/get_access_token",
  :access_token_path    => "/oauth/v1/get_access_token",
}

if Rails.env.development?
  options[:proxy] = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
end

$qb_oauth_consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(consumer_key, consumer_secret, options)

Awesome - I'm going to take a stab at this next week, I'll close this issue and update you if I get somewhere
