undefined local variable or method context

[ringvold]

When I'm including JSONAPI::Utils in my base controller I get an error:

undefined local variable or method `context' for #<Api::V1::AuthController:0x007fa0f2ec1158>

It seems like the variable context on line 13 in setup_request in JSONAPI::Utils:Request does not exist. I'm not sure where context should come from. I thought is might be because i used ActionController::Metal, but the error shows when I use ActionController::Base.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

I'm using JU 0.4.6 with rails 4.2.3

@ringvold, are you installing the jsonapi-resources gem in separate or are you using the built-in from jsonapi-utils? If possible, could you share your Gemfile.lock?

[tiagopog]

Any news about this issue?

[ringvold]

Sorry. I haven't had time to look into this.
I used jsonapi-resources standalone before using jsonapi-utils. But when I installed jsonapi-utils I checked that the versions where the same.
I'll share my Gemfile.lock later today.

[tiagopog]

No problem. It might be related to some incompatibility between the versions of JU and JR, but I can only be sure after seeing your Gemfile.lock.

I was getting a very similar error about key_formatter from that same method (setup_request) in my Rails 4.2.7.1 app. Upgrading to 0.5.0.beta3 fixed it for me. So it seems like there is something missing from JSONAPI::Utils in v0.4.6 after including it in the controller.

I'd assume that I'd get a similar error about context if I weren't implementing that method in my base controller.

[tiagopog]

Since there's no further reports about this issue I will consider it closed.
