Should execute return XML string?

[sashman]

Hello I am making a connection with my server and trying to get back a list of repositories. Getting this error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `values' for #<String:0x5490bd0>

Looking into server.rb code there is this:

    def repositories(opts = {})
      result = execute!({}, opts)

      result.values.map do |r|
        Repository.new(r, self)
      end
    end

execute just returns the response body? Should this not get parsed somewhere? Or am I using this in a wrong way?

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it. Can you paste a full trace of the error? And the piece of calling code that produces it. For context, what CMIS server are you running against?

[sashman]

This is all I'm getting:

CMIS::Server[http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom]
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `values' for #<String:0x6526cb0>
....rake:45:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
-e:1:in `load'
-e:1:in `<main>'
Tasks: TOP => alfresco:read_folders
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Here is my task:

    server = CMIS::Server.new(service_url: 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom', username: 'admin', password: 'password')
    puts server.inspect
    puts server.repositories.inspect

Could this be due to me using an atom API? (Using Alfresco as you can tell from the URL)

Could this be due to me using an atom API?

Yep. cmis-ruby talks to the browser binding only. I'll try to improve the error message though. Thanks!

Awesome cheers!

For the record I should have used this browser end point http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmisbrowser

@sashman One point of clarification. If you're using Alfresco 5.x, the correct browser binding uri is the following: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser

thanks @kylefernandadams!
