Re: [Scribeserver-users] Problems (and solutions :) ) while using Scribe with Ruby

You are correct. Sorry, in my earlier email I should have you need to pass a *list* of LogEntry's when calling Log. See the declaration of the Log procedure in if/scribe.thrift.

Hi Anthony,
I changed the client.Log("message") line to be
client.Log(LogEntry.new(:category => "test", :message => "This is a
test message"));
Now, I'm getting the following exception:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:233:in
`write_container': undefined method `size' for <LogEntry
category:"test", message:"This is a test message">:LogEntry
(NoMethodError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:113:in `write'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:69:in `each_field'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:68:in `each'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:68:in `each_field'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/struct.rb:109:in `write'
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/thrift/client.rb:16:in `send_message'
from ../src/gen-rb/scribe.rb:22:in `send_Log'
from ../src/gen-rb/scribe.rb:17:in `Log'
from rscribe_cat:18
I'm suspecting that the size method should not have been called on the
LogEntry class but actually on the Thrift::Types::LIST class which is
the type of the :element attribute of :message field of Log_args
class.
Can you please verify that this should actually be the case because in
that case, it'll be a bug in Thrift rather than Scribe.
Regards
Chandranshu
P.S.: I think I understand the source of bug. It is the following
method in the Thrift::Struct class which is actually setting the
message field to the LogEntry instance that I'm passing rather than
creating a Thrift::LIST out of it. I didn't get time to check the
Thrift.check_type method to see if it changes the 'value' parameter.
def self.field_accessor(klass, *fields)
fields.each do |field|
klass.send :attr_reader, field
klass.send :define_method, "#{field}=" do |value|
Thrift.check_type(value, klass::FIELDS.values.find { |f|
f[:name].to_s == field.to_s }, field) if Thrift.type_checking
instance_variable_set("@#{field}", value)
end
end
end
